I'm building a worm bin and was curious, since the worms already need a little grit to make vermicompost, could I use nutrient & mineral amendments like Crustacean Meal, Basalt Rock Dust, Gypsum Dust, Oyster Shell Flour & Greensand be used to serve such a function?
Here is my theory, take a bale of Peat Moss, and some Buildasoil Coot's mix and layer it in a worm bin with some paper shreds, kitchen scraps & manures....add a shit ton of red wriggles & African night crawler, grow a nitrogen-fixer cover crop mix for a month, chop & drop, then deep mulch it...let that cook for another month, cut with aeration amendments and plant into as a no-till bed from there on out...I figure I could run three of these in different phases as a perpetual ROLS setup.
Are there any fatal flaws in my logic here and does this sound like it would work well?
