do you htink these are suitable worm castings? also some of the castings on ebay are listed as dried. are those suitable as well?

i got a 20 pound bag for under $15 at the local lowes or home depot i dont remember. dont get ripped off

Don't order online unless you have absolutely no other choice. I'm sure there's an organic store in your area that has castings. Too expensive to ship through the mail. Castings are heavy. I wouldn't get dry, though those would be better than nothing.

the commercial worms are fed wood chips and such. the quality of the castings depends on the worms' diet. start a worm ranch. That will be the best casting you ever use.

dont mean to be a dick but how does telling me to start a worm farm answer my question?

i guess what im askin basically is if anyone has any experiences(good or bad) with any worm castings offered on ebay

this is funny!

i think what he was trying to say is, the best, highest quality ewc is home made.

that being said, green sense is good, and the price not too bad....expect to pay around 1.50-2 bucks a pound.......just factor in shipping.
another good label is unco industries.....here is a link.....good luck..
p.s. i do make my own, but it only supplies 50% of my needs, so i buy unco.

i know making your own is obviously the best, as one has complete control and can do it the right way. however its a project that i cant start at the moment. i will definitely give it a shot at some point tho. thanks for the answers

Venom I cant speak about the products in your question but I csn say that not all worm castings are created equal. before you buy I suggest looking for a local worm farm in your area,they usually sell castings and the quality is much higher. I remember the first time I got high quality worm shit and it was the dawn of a new day for me and my plants. now days im a worm rancher,it pays to give them a specific diet the end results are killer!

There are prob the same ones you can get at home depot. Ebay just adds shit ton of shipping. Worm castings it aleays better to go local. Try your local garden centet I got my last 50 pound bag of sifted castings for around 20 bones.. Happy growing bro...Kron

I get great results with Age Old Organics worm castings. They are fed peat moss and are very clean and pure. Makes awesome tea and is good as gold in the organic game.

i got mine from a local worm farm he feeds his cow crap from the local dairys in the area, he uses a row method using red wigglers

i cant relaly find anything local. did some googling closest i could find is approximately 1hrs drive.

Contact them to ship it to your house. Worms fed specific diets really have quality castings and its worth getting them. I mean if the end result is the best dank possible it seems like you would try to get the best nutes for your ladies and maybe gents

yeah, one hour isn't terrible either, just buy a shit tun, make the drive worth it, they last awhile.

Be careful with the suppliers. I like to look at the castings first, one time I bought some which I realized had been cut 50/50 with peat moss before they packaged it up when I got home and opened up the bag.

WiggleWorm is a great a brand and can be purchased at lots of CO-OPs in my area.

For over the counter I suggest mega worm
