Hey Guys and Gals,
What and how are the best ways to incorporate earth worm casting into soil?

Bey Bearcat, yeah, I mean like if I mix castings in my soil. Im going straight from solo cups to the final pot. Is it better to mix it into thesoil then plant, or will that affect my buds taste Iin a negative way?
Also, I have two week old seedlings in cups just entering veg. No castings in the soil. Just HAPPY frog cut with seed starter soil. Can I use it on them. If so, how?

Thanks bro

You can actually grow a seed in pure worm castings. I usually just grab a bag of my favorite soil (Roots Organic) and just mix the worm castings with the entire bag. My point is that you can technically add worm castings at any time without detriment to your plants. Personally I wouldn't worry about adding it to my seedlings. they'll be fine without. Just have it mixed and ready when you transplant.

I do the same with my happy frog. I mix one bag of soil builders EWC. I heard its good to get several different Types for a broader spectrum so i add EWC compost then strait EWC and then even a another brand. I love worm doo doo. hard to burn your plant. Actually I dont think you can ever add too much. Plus it makes great AACT with a little molasses in there. Smells good enough to drink.

Go check out the no till thread especially first few pages. add some dolomite lime or oyster shell flour to help buffer the soil pH. And then look into amendments for soil. Brewing teas etc to help in octets the soil with microbes.

Thanks Anzohaze!

I have my soil buffered already with d lime. Will adding ewc mess with my ph? I got it in a nice spot at 6.2. Don't wanna mess that up
