Pat, you asked if there are sellers of worm castings online. There's plenty
on my page at http://herbfarmer.net/compost.htm#Vermiculture . I'm getting
bags of straight castings from our greenhouse supply and adding it into their
commercial coir-based Metromix for general purpose seedling and potting mix.
The resulting mix needs no added fertilizer of any kind, is pH balanced, full
of trace minerals and organic compounds, slow release, and full of the little
microscopic critters that make plant symbiosis. I'm also growing worms now
for the castings to build my own soil.
