N-P-K values of compost/worm castings

Groat21 · Apr 7, 2019

Just wondering if anyone knows how to test N-P-K values of compost and/or worm castings. Going to start vermicomposting but would like to know what I’m adding

What do you mean 1-0-0.. where do all the rest of the nutrients go? And what about micronutrients?

I did... there’s a lot of contradicting stuff. That’s why I thought I’d ask here.

If you don’t have an answer, just don’t answer...

So from what I’ve found. NPK ratios only measure what’s instantly available. The worm castings/compost will have all the macro and micronutrients in slow release form.

So the answer is, the nutrients DONT go anywhere...

Thanks for the help, people
