"You need only use a small amount in or around your house plants, vegetables and flowers, as the humic acid in worm castings are able to stimulate plant growth, even in low concentrations. Humic acid also stimulates the development of micro flora populations in the soil. The miracles of the earthworm are easily seen in the beautiful growth and yields of your plants. Extremely dark and rich in texture, tests on worm castings have shown the nitrogen content to be 5 times greater than ordinary topsoil, the phosphate 7 times greater, potash 11 times, and magnesium 3 times. Castings will not burn even when applied directly to the most delicate plants. Definitely the finest soil conditioner available. Great for use in your entire garden!"

Nah, just add filler to your mixture....

Very interesting.
I stopped using my own castings for seed and clone starter dirt due to what I'm guessing was nutrient burn. Your lab results are telling me I could have been right on that one.
Once I went back to bagged castings for starter dirt, the clones and seedlings were fine again.
The larger plants are loving the nutrient cycled castings though.
One more piece of the puzzle figured out, probably.
Thanks for posting your results.

I spoke with the lab. It was tested as soil not compost. He said the K is in range corrected to 12-13%. 82 CEC.He said stay on top of the N and I should be good to go.

What does "stay on top of the N" mean?
