Why Should I Use Worm Castings?

Worms are just machines that process whatever you give them (almost). The big benefit is that the castings have insane amounts of beneficial bacteria and fungi, however that is not enough...by far...but its a good start. Also, keep in mind that you cant mix organic with non-organic, i.e. non-organic nutes kill the beneficial soil life.

I grow fully organic and I cant recommend it enough, but you need to learn the basics. I suggest you start with a good soil mix like Fox Farms and mix in some guano, volcanic loam, rock dust, palm tree ash, worm castings, alfalfa pellets, blood and bone meal, coco choir. Let it "burn" for a couple of weeks and you have a superb start for your plants.
