So I'll start off by saying this isn't in any way my idea, people have been doing this for years, however I didn't see a thread dedicated to it here, yet it seems like such a great idea....I'm sure there's people on here doing it already but didn't see any discussion about it.
Personally very new to living soil, so still learning a lot....listening to a pod cast on KIS with CC was the first time I heard mention of vermicomposting compost. Wait what? Yes, taking something like Bu's Compost and running it through a worm bin essentially, seems much "cleaner" too for those who're grossed out by rotting foods and smells.
Started to look around, and there's a lot of talk about it, different recipes and methods, but obviously the better you put in, the better the outcome.
The idea is you take something like finished compost(Bu's as example) add perlite/rice hulls/pumice etc. and mix it up, moisten it, toss worms on top, then you can lightly top dress it with stuff like neem, kelp, karanja, rock dusts & crustacean(lightly once or twice a month) leave it for 3 months and you have a finished product of rich EWC you could use as your entire 1/3 humus portion of the mix.
Wondering if anyone around here has been doing this, still very new to me and still reading about it but it seems very appealing, not something that needs to be tended to often, basically just "set it and forget it", it's quick and the outcome is better then anything you could buy.

laugh: ) themselves when the food disappears...but its all good for the VC. So, my goal is not to have worms in the pot but finished VC.
