I searched this and the results were for castings. My question is can I add live worms to my individual 20 gallon pots to increase the air to the roots. And if so, what's a good worm/gallon ratio?

Thanks.

add some perlite and worm castings to your soil you will be fine leave out the worms. Good Luck Dirrtyd

Worms don't just eat dirt.

You would have to feed them.

Then any ferts you might use would probably kill them anyway.

Went a little light on the perlite and trying to make up for it.

Any other ideas besides transplanting? Plants are doing fine just paranoid I guess.
