I have a very successful indoor worm farm rocking right now, but I'm kind of afraid to use the castings I've made - Is there any chance I could be introducing pests into my soil? I'm not exactly sure why, but I'm less nervous about the commercially produced castings I've been using for years...
Very good question, YES theres a chance if theres any mites or such bugs in the soil you can transfer those to your cannabis plants, If you want to avoid doing that, i would STRONGLY suggest looking into making casting TEAS!!! :D From my understanding they can be used as a spray or a watering nutrient.
I don't have any recipies for teas to give ya so you'll have to look those up but im pretty sure its very simple :D
Thanks for the feedback! Here's a related question: Am I more or less likely to bring in bugs on commercial worm compost (Wiggle Worm, etc.) than compost I make myself? fwiw my vermicompost is made indoors from kitchen scraps.
I got a couple of small contributions to this thread. I did not feel like ordering live worms off the intertronz so I just threw a couple handfulls of wormcastings in the compost bin, wait a month and voila its now a worm bin. I also add some benificial bacteria to the mix as I too was worried about the wee beasties
