Worm Bin Castings for Potting?
« on: March 21, 2009, 07:53:07 AM »
Howdy All...

Well I have some Lotus starts coming from a couple good AP folks, and I'm going to be dividing my Water Lilies soon also...  Just wondering if anyone has used worm bin castings to pot up there water plants? 

Don't know if it would be too "Hot", or maybe I should mix it with some of the composted manure Joyce talks about...  I don't want to kill my new plants!!!!!!!  but I do have a "winter's worth" of some good black worm compost...........

Thanks for any help...

Dave

Thanks Annette...

Yup, we've been using it in the garden for several years, but it is pretty rich, I nearly killed our rhubarb by putting it around the plants, maybe a little too close...

Think I'll hold off and not take a chance on my lotus that are coming...  I'll give it a try on some of my Water Lily divisions though...
