I am a believer in the benefits of worm castings both as a soil amendment, and when used as worm casting tea. I amend my planting sites with castings, and I brew & apply worm casting tea twice a month (sometimes more frequently) during the growing season. Attached are pictures of giant vegetables that I have grown over the years using worm castings

A new customer in Iowa City, IA contacted us with a very specific yard problem: Their yard became infested with a non-stinging ground dwelling bee which is a protected species and could not be exterminated. The bees thrive on hard pack, dry soil. The only way to rid the yard of the infestation was to create thick, lush grass and moist soil. They tried over seeding for years and the problem got to critical mass as you can see in the first photo. They heard about worm castings and ordered two 30 pound bags of castings. Besides grass seed, the castings were the only soil restorer used. The second pictures are after six weeks. They put netting over the grass seed to keep the birds from taking the seed.
