I use the bottom most layer of the barn bedding to start seeds in.  By the time I pull it out it looks a lot like that black potting mix you buy and so far I've had good luck with it.

Sure, I have. I assume we're talking about finished compost with the usual
soil component. Holds moisture, drains well, and furnishes slow release
nutrients naturally. Works for me. I don't do your vermicomposting but I
have tried bought vermicompost in the mix and never had a disease or
damping off problem yet.
