Worm Castings?

Well all winter I have been keeping a worm compost bin in my basement. The littile worms have made a lot of worm crap for only a 4 month period.

So my question is could I use worm casting juice and the casting "dirt" to give my plant fertilizer and nutrients for both the Veg stage and Flowering stage?

Seems from what I've read the leachate (juice) and castings are similar.
If that is all you have add throughout,
If you have a buck or ten: Veg.= EWC (earth worm castings) + veg nutes
flower= EWC + flower nutes.

Peace love and castings

good advice. any potting soil worth its salt has tons of castings. FF products, for example.

Castings are generally very high in nitrogen, but little else. I don't have a link handy, but there are plenty of guides online for organic gardening soil amendments.
