Here’s the Poop on Worm Compost Bins – 5 Uses For Worm Castings

Many people are unfamiliar with the term vermicast. Vermicast is the product created by earthworms when used in a vermicomposting (or worm composting) system. Use worms to compost? Of course! That's what happens in nature. Vermicomposting systems simply use more worms in a closed compost bin system to produce more compost more quickly. But what to do with your vermicompost once you've harvested it?
1.Add it to your soil. Vermicast is some of the most nutrient dense amendment you can find. It can help to revitalize "bad" soil.
2.Use it as a mulch. Adding vermicast as a top dressing to your soil can help to keep the weeds down. It will also reduce the need to water your garden, and it improves the appearance of your soil. In essence, it can replace your usual mulch.
3.Use it when planting. Unlike most commercially available synthetic products on the market today, vermicast is completely natural and safe. You can add it to your planting hole directly and not have to worry about damaging the roots of your plants. It helps to stabilize anything newly planted.
4.Use it as a fertilizer. Again, unlike synthetic fertilizers, vermicast is completely safe to use in any planting endeavor. Use it to fertilize your victory garden. Since it is completely organic, it is perfectly safe to use on anything you will be eating later in the season.
