I wonder if this will work

Ok this is kind of crazy, and maybe even a stupid question I know, but please bear with me i just started the growing process, and i have a few healthy plants comming along so far.

but my question is, well i was wondering, since ive read a lot of good thigns being said about worm castings, and i know worms are essential to plant growth in the outdoor world, well i was wondering if maybe it might be benificial in any way to go out and pick up some worms after a rainy day and put them into my 5 gal pots of soil that is home to my beautiful plants?

or is that just impractical/am i just nuts and should i just buy worm castings instead??

just had to ask pleaes dont hate on me

Sorry MB I haven't any help for you. But I do find your thread to be exactly what I was thinking this morning as I walked out my driveway and saw hundreds of worms. I wondered if they will be as helpful in my pots, as they are in my flowerbeds. HHMMMM.....I will watch your post and take the info to good use.

I know that worms eat organic material in the soil, (but i forgot if it has to be living or dead) u dont want them to eat ur roots (unless they only eat very very small material in the soil), u could put a bunch of worms into soil for a few months and then take em out again and use that for some free worm castings.

dont think there goin to like being fed nutrients every week.. lol

yeah plus the worms castings they use in most soil mixes are the castings from mealworms....as lug worms do not shed skin??? lol as i have leopard gecko's as U ALL KNOW lol i breed my own mealworms and boxes of worm castings hehhehe yeah its mealworm casting not lugworms castings but yeah they might be good for taking shit out of the soil i dunno if hey eat root also tat would be bad

i think it's the poop that you're interested in not the actual skin they shed, i mean it's the poo that has the nitrogen correct?
