![]() I have seen these advertised in some of the flower and gardening magazines I receive. I always wondered what the specific benefit was of using worm castings. The soil is so much more moist and pleasant to work with, and the roots of the plants seem much stronger. ![]() Once I started using them, and realized how much more yield my garden produced, I won't use anything else. The worm castings also don't burn the plants like some of the fertilizers will do. I feel much better about using something like this than some of the fertilizers you buy at the store. I have used organic worm castings in my vegetable garden for a few years now. I just need to build it differently, get some worms, and I should be ready to harvest my own worm castings. It sounds like the food scraps I am already putting in my compost bin would be perfect for feeding the worms. I am also very interested in using worm castings. This is one way I plan on improving my soil and getting a better crop of vegetables. It makes so much sense to put scraps of food here that I would otherwise just throw away or put down the garbage disposal. I have had a compost bin in my back yard for a few months now. If I could use those, I wouldn't have to ever worry about finding a source to buy them from. It's too bad I can't use all the earthworms I see outside after every rain. ![]() I am working on having an organic garden and it sounds like using worm castings is my next logical step. I have found out that one of the secrets to a good crop, is good soil. When I first started gardening I just thought I could plant some seeds in the soil, and in a few months, I would have this great harvest of vegetables. I really need some help with my soil and this sounds like it would be a great thing to try. What are the advantages of using castings? The worms found the compost pile on their own and went to work. They are fast at work making castings that I will add to my garden. ![]() The pile of leaves ( Compost pile ) are full of night crawler worms. I raked my leaves and grass clippings into a corner of my back yard and add all my coffee and tea grounds and food scraps to the pile,I also shred my newspaper's and add them. ![]()
