Looking for 1 ton totes of worm castings - Organic Soil - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

So I am looking for 1 ton totes of worm castings. I would rather pay more for a higher quality product. The supplier would need to be in the midwest, or the south due to shipping rates. I have found a few companies, but their quality did not seem to be the best.

Thanks for the help!!!

These are the folks you want if you're east of the Mississippi.

I think they can handle your needs. I can also verify the viability of their high end organic castings/vermicompost.

Just came across this when I was looking for castings, there's a company www.simplegrowsoil.com based in Springfield, MO that claims to have higher end pure worm castings.

I just submitted a bulk quote request at https://www.simplegrowsoil.com/pages...-worm-castings in case that helps. Will let you know what I hear back on price per ton.

Check out Silverbait. I believe they are in TN. I found them to be affordable and of good quality.

If you blow 100 cubic yards of wet leaves in a soil area that has access (on the bottom) to normal redworms that live in the soil -

and cover them with a tarp ...

3 to 6 months later, you'll have about a ton of worm castings.

From a soil science point of view, it is fascinating.

The "stoichiometry" of the process is -

Oak leaves + Water + Oxygen ==>

Carbon Dioxide + Worms + Trace Humus

I am amazed at how the 500 pounds of oak leaves that drop from one of my trees every year, ends up being Nothing 9 months later.

Nothing as in Zip-zero-zilch, a bare sand-clay area when everything is eaten.

The chickens eat the worms. A good part of the 500 pounds of oak leaves ends up being carbon dioxide - since bacteria and other micro-fauna are directly involved in the creation of the worm castings. And they all exhale carbon dioxide.
