Why to use worm Castings
Worm castings contain many beneficial bacteria. These bacteria are responsible for turning ammonium in soil into nitrates. Nitrates are the most easily used form of nitrogen for the plants. As well as containing these beneficial bacteria, they also contain amino acids which help in the growth and development of your plants. For hydroponics, worm castings are available in liquid form to cover all stages of plant development or additives to give your plants an added boost. Worm castings are a cost efficient way of supplying the needed nutrients to the plants and in most places are readily available

Flavor,flavor,flavor
Worm castings is the single best flavor enhancer IMO!
Nothing I have used works better and it's full of trace elements.I use only Pro-Mix and Worm Castings and perlite in my soil mixes.All other organics are watered in. Castings RULE!!!! Wiggle Worm all the way........................ |

I use 15 lbs. to a bail of promix for growth and 30 lbs. to a bail for flowering.Not sure how that would break down but I can check the cubic feet on a promix bail and maybe go from there.
I only use wiggle worm as it is pure castings. Take care.......................CC |
