are worm castings made from manure higher in nitrogen?

Hello all, I just harvested my worm castings that I feed the worms with rabbit manure and wondering if they will be high in nitrogen? I don't want to burn my plants with a soil drench. Thanks all.

You should be fine. Rabbit manure is known as a cold manure so It shouldn't burn your plants especially if it's already composted by the worms. It has a great npk profile, better than most manures. Add some kelp meal and you pretty much have a complete fertilizer.

Castings are not a primary source of nutrition, it's more for the microbes, though you will get a nute boost from what's been broken down. 1 cup to a gallon if you are worried about burn.

Thanks guy's
