Has anyone used worms directly in their pots?
I have done some vermicomposting but not added worms directly to soil. My interest is with composting worms bringing amendments from the soil surface 6" below in my outdoor containers. The only thing it's the way i amend and use green manures, my soil it's on fire at the beginning of the year right before i plant and i think it would kill them. I COULD add them when i plant.... But how many Worms do i need to be really affective? And how would i raise enough Worms to colonize hundreds of yards of soil.
A plant is in the ground for 6 months... It would be nice to be able to get non water soluble amendments past the top inch of soil.
