Worm castings as growing medium?

[Mr. Clandestine]

They're not really that hot . 1-0-0 , all N .

Prob. = Worm diareha once wet though but can't hurt to experiment . All else fails it sells for 1.00 a lb. here locally . Some lazy dumbass would buy it on ebay and you could buy 5 bags of Happy Frog or Ocean Forest w/ the $$$ .

Thanks for the feedback XC. I didn't think it would be too hot, but figured I'd ask anyway. I've found a deal on as much as I could ever want for $.50 per pound, so I'm considering getting a good bit of it anyway... but it looks like I'll probably just keep using it as an amendment for my soil. I might just experiment with one plant so I can get a good idea about how well it works.

Thanks again.

I have the opportunity to get my hands on a sizable amount of weed-free worm castings, well over 100lbs if I desire, and I was curious if anyone has ever used a casting/perlite-only mix to grow their plants? I always have some castings on hand to add to my soil mix, but I've never tried substituting it alone for all other organic matter. Would this be too "hot" even for plants well into veg? If anyone has ever done this, please let me know how it worked out for you. Include, if possible, Rating: 5
