Worm Castings

I am currently thinking of exploring/starting my own worm casting program. Has anyone on here atleast made their own and can give info of experience? Any type of opinions or ideas etc. are welcome...There is no such thing as a stupid question or comment in this thread so be free.

i bought one a few months ago ,it took a while for the worms to adjust to thier new diet ,but now i get lots of worm pee ,and i have the bottom container filled with castings ,i just added the next tub ,so they should start to move up into that one ,when all the food runs out in the one below ,it works great ,but i am sure you could build your own ,i am just lazy , worth while and the plants love the worm pee as well.

do you think buying a dozen worms from a bait shop
and putting the soil that comes with them in the plants
and adding 2 worms to each plant would be a good idea?

well i have been reading and they say that the red wigglers are the ones used in vermicomposting (worm castings). and they also say that it is IMPOSSIBLE to overload your soil with worms....if they like it they will stay and eat etc, if thyey dont they will either die or find a new area....

what if i put them in with my plants
air out the soil and create nutes i guess

yes that is correct they do aerate the soil while also their poo creates micobial nutrients....all the goodies u want for growth and disease protection....

experiment in the works?
anyone with free time/no worry of risk wanna try this?
or have already tried this?
i think i might test it
