[@vc400]

Lol! You dont need store bought worm castings. You already have it all along. I envy you! Cheers!

[@LilliLamour]

I choked when she talked about her father and grandfather. I felt that. Sending love and thank for everything you and your family has done.

[@rhonin420]

You're pretty

[@MrDanrn999]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@ftankpotent2527]

Just love your mission Mindy...I was so touched by your testimonial of your Father and Grandfather...it is so wonderful that a company like yours exists that has the best health interests of it’s customers in mind...thank you thank you thank you😊🌈

[@PSOCrocker]

Everything that was said I learned. This year will be my 1st garden so I will take any advice I can get. love the videos and keep up the good work!

[@DadeAngel]

I learned a lot from this video like the trace minerals. soil conditioning and growth hormone. Since I will be starting a container garden this year, I also loved seeing just how little goes a long way

[@cathye.hosta_lily_t6965]

I am so happy with your mini series; feeding your garden. I just bought my first work castings. I can still return it, so I'm hoping to now buy vermisterra thanks to u. I learned that they funner them normal, aged for 7yrs, and organic, no fillers. Sounds like a great company. I love family owned, & chemical free. I'm new to indoor and outdoor plants since my recovery from a 2 month coma i was in. It is my saving grace. My best therapy is watching them grow. 😊 thanks

[@CaliKim29]

So glad to hear you are enjoying the series, Cathy!! You are going to do this, Cathy!!! Please keep me posted! I am pulling for you! Kim. : )

[@SPLToronto]

So touched by her personal story. Thank you for teaching all of us what worm casting is!

[@OAKSkiers]

We ordered worm castings from Mindy at Vermisterra 2 days ago and received our order today along with a really nice note from Mindy. So excited to garden tomorrow! Thanks for the great videos. :)

[@VermisterraEarthwormCastings]

Hope your garden is thriving!

[@buddahGump]

I've been all over KZbin for gardening ideas. This channel is by far the best I've found. I didn't know worms pooped! And we buy it!

[@VermisterraEarthwormCastings]

haha good one!

[@cannedpotatoes]

I learned that you can't use too much. What an engaging video. As a family battling cancer, we are glad to see Mindy's committment to the environment--and to your commitment CaliKim.

[@paccc7092]

You’re AWESOME Mindy! You’re dad and grandpa are looking down at you and are really proud at what your doing. I’m proud of you and I don’t know you. My dad has cancer and I’ve been making sure he is eating as clean organic as possible. Thank you!

[@tommartucci2886]

Great video. I like the personal touch for this product by the family. Like your other product videos, I like the down to earth "experts" that you have to help you with these products. Some of which I then purchased. Thanks and keep up for the next 5 years and beyond!

[@VermisterraEarthwormCastings]

thanks for listening to our story, we love to hear feedback!

[@Carmen-uj2sp]

Thank you Miss Kim for bringing us Miss Mindy and all of the wonderful information about worm castings! We are starting our first garden (Organic) this year and this literally answered all of my questions...SO awesome! Thank you again and have a Blessed day!

[@VermisterraEarthwormCastings]

Hi Sissy! Thanks for watching! We are glad you learned a lot. Keep the questions coming! Can't wait to see your organic garden...

[@richardrosen1709]

I’ve learned to NOT be afraid of the worms! I’ve learned about this on CaliKims you tube videos - my very first ever garden! And I’m 64

[@everetteburk9198]

I have difficulty keeping my worms through the winter here in Alaska. Good to know I can order fromj this company. I did not know that worm castings are better with age.

[@MrDanrn999]

you can always use a heating pad for your worms to keep them alive.

[@jenniferlin4395]

I have never use worm casting in my garden, I am very excited that there is actually an organic fertilizer that can be effective for such a long time. The characteristics of the product are just so amazing being odorless and safe around humans and pets. Can't wait to try it in my garden this coming spring.

[@svetlanikolova7673]

Jennifer, get yourself a mini worm farm and start feeding it your food scraps and paper You save the landfill and you save money on garbage pick up

[@smb123211]

Great video. It should be noted that the amounts and strength of pesticides used today is nothing like tthose in decades past. I do not use chemicals on my farm BUT this means a lot more work because plants must now get their nutrients from the soil instead of artificially. We have enormous worm bins (in the ground) and make hundreds of pounds annually that we put on the soil. We also compost between rows (burying all manner of bio material) and this attracts worms,

[@felizarias2450]

I love how a little can go a long way and works throughout the planting season.

[@CaliKim29]

One of my fav things bout the castings as well, Feliz! Thx for entering the giveaway and for watching!

[@patriciamarks3594]

I am happy to hear that worm castings don't burn your plants, I have burnt a lot of my gardening with manure. Thank you so much for all the information. I am glad it is light and helps with air action.

[@molly3292011]

Great video, Mindy and CaliKim. I learned you use worming casting once a season....love that. That's Vermisterra for the opportunity for the giveaway. Love all your videos CaliKim.

[@ginnyk50]

I started a small worm farm last fall and am just about ready to harvest some of the castings. Now I know how to use them, and also to stop feeding them paper and cardboard. Thanks Kim!

[@67tichi]

Hi Kali I'm leaning so much from your videos. Thanks so much, I'm hoping to grown my first organic garden this year.

[@dekelsey17]

Hi Kim, OUTSTANDING video!! Love using worm castings! I have the Worm Factory 360 with Red Worms in it and it is going 365 days a year! Lots of fun watching them and feeding them! Been using these Worm castings for a couples years now with fantastic results! One thing I did not know is that you can use Worm castings in little trays and start your seeds in them! Thanks for sharing this video! Looking forward to the next series in feeding your garden!!

[@CaliKim29]

Hello Dan, they are super helpful for seed starting, and really help keep the fungus gnats at bay as well. I've seen such great results germinating my seeds in them. Thx for watching!

[@missourigirl4101]

I'm watching this again. I've been using vermisterra for a year since you encouraged us to when I found this video as well as others. It feels great to use a product that is natural on veg my family is eating.

[@deniseyounger6004]

I didn’t know how useful it is. I put a bag in my new raised bed. I hope it gives me beautiful veg

[@BetterDeadThanRed99]

The quality of those castings is amazing. I was using Home Depot castings before I started vermicomposting. The store bought variety is diluted at least 4:1 with inert bedding materials. The difference is pretty incredible. I use a blender to prepare my worm food from kitchen scraps. I don't even screen my compost - I just pick out the worms and larger bits of bedding and top dress my planters. Fresh castings will have live worm cocoons and a bunch of tiny beneficial insects that form a complex soil web of life - they break down rotting organic stuff so that plants can access those nutrients. They will help break down organic fertilizer amendments and make much better use of them in your soil. After the plant dies, the dead roots will provide even more food for the soil web. Just top dress with more castings, amend with organics and wait a little while before planting so the critters have time to do their thing. Make them work hard so you don't have to!

[@PrincessAloeVera]

GREAT VID! I just harvested my first batch of worm castings from a small worm bin I tried for the first time. I learned how to do it with various youtube vids.. THis one is GREAT for learning how to USE them in the garden for the best results! THANK YOU SO MUCH !! and thanks to BOTH of you on this one!

[@joanies6778]

Perfect! Just bought a 10 lb bag for my garden. Happy I found this video before going out to spread it around. Great info.

[@spiffmaster1]

Thank You for doing this video. I will try that starter mix next year for my seeds.I am using worm castings for my first time this year.I wanted to learn more on worm castings and how much to use as i am making my own potting soil mix this year to save money. You two have made me very happy today . You feed the soil, and it will feed your plants well.Good gardening wishes to all this year!.

[@eboniejackson9712]

wow it was so heartfelt when she was speaking about her dad but I learned so much I am new to gardening and I do not like outside creatures so I wanted to grow an inside container garden. I just learned the benefits of worms to the garden. I also learned that your plants use fungi to help them grow. Thank you for the videos I see me having a productive start to my garden

[@TheDerwood53]

What a beautiful woman!!! Thanks for all the gardening advice too!!

[@CaliKim29]

So nice of you! Thank you for watching and subscribing!

[@rosiesgarden1820]

Outstanding Kim, another great video. Your interview was Great! I did not realize that Worm castings can help so much. I will be adding more to my soil this season. Thank you and Thank you, Mindy from Vermis Terra, I will be checking out your site!

[@cottoncandy7861]

Loved this video however I didn't know you could use worm castings when seed starting.

[@PictureMaria1]

I learned that worm castings have an earthy smell unlike other manuer products which always grosses me out and is the reason I've never used in the past... so happy to hear that this organic way of fertilizing does not have that and lends itself as an option for me. Thanks for sharing such an informative video...You both did such an awesome job and I am even more inspired to go organic! Thanks so much! :)

[@ex7229]

Also manure you run the risk of e coli and other bacterial illness. That's why lettuce is always recalled. Its because its grown in shit.

[@noeljokait]

I started using the worm casting and the tea from Vermisterra and my flowers and my vegetable seedlings are doing great. Thanks for the help for a gardening newbie.

[@lockhartironworks1651]

Hi Kim! I didn't know that worm castings are better aged. Great video. I just wanted to say that I recently heard about you through one of Luke's live videos on Facebook and I'm so glad I did! So many new things to learn. -Danielle from Ohio

[@colorjude8174]

Since i started using worm castings I get a better harvest

[@VermisterraEarthwormCastings]

it's nature's perfect soil amendment! great to hear!

[@larrybicknell4456]

Thank you very much for the warm casting video I'm new to the gardening and I'm just started a new Garden I've been wondering about the worm castings and how to use them and you answer my question is certainly appreciate that God bless you all

[@TheDarkfairy209]

Thank you so much for this video it was very informative and heart warming. I have a little 4 year old nephew and I want him to eat as natural as possible. We have been growing our small garden and learning a lot. Definitely worm castings is a great way to treat your garden without the many dangers of chemical feeding products for plants and pesticides. Thank you so much Mandy for the work you and your family do to educate and help the farmers growing our food. I hope one day chemicals and pesticides won't be used anymore so people can live longer and healthier lives. I have used worm castings before and like Kim said, I noticed a huge difference in plants.

[@TheDarkfairy209]

Forgot to mention that I had no idea that using cardboard and newspapers for the housing of worms would be considered a filler. I know many worm farms use this method, it's interesting to learn you can have an event healthier casting material 😊

[@VermisterraEarthwormCastings]

Thank you for your kind words. Keep up the gardening, our food is our best medicine.

[@josenoneofyourbusiness9366]

I learned that you can't burn the plant by adding too much casting . Looks like a great product live the story behind the company can I get this in store or online only . Thanks for the video.

amazing video full of knowledge. I did not know worm casting was so beneficial to the garden

[@svetlanikolova5557]

seedlings are ready in 3 days . very happy ! You will not be sorry. Bit I suggest you raise your own. Easy and very beneficial. Worms will eat your garbage

[@lindawalker-nb9mj]

Loved it need to order for my house plants first I heard about this excited to try it!

[@CaliKim29]

Hope you enjoy it! Sounds exciting!!! Keep me posted, Linda! CaliKim

[@markanthonymiranda9892]

I learned that you can use coconut coir and warm castings as a seed starter. I am very excited to try this out.

[@CaliKim29]

Pretty cool, right? I will be doing a more detailed video on making your own seed starting soil, and a soilless mix with coco coir very soon! Thx for entering the giveaway and for watching!

[@VermisterraEarthwormCastings]

Yes this environment will have little stress for the seeds. Also the natural growth hormones in worm castings will help. Cant wait to see your seedlings! Please share your photos!

[@valeriebaker2074]

I had never known about worm castings for gardening & LOVE the idea of it's use to increase the healthiness of my plants and soil!

[@annadickinson6935]

Amazing video ladies thank you so much for all the information. I haven't started yet. The Cali Kim videos have definitely been helping me was trying to figure out where to start.THANK YOU!!

[@MISH3LLYTRON]

I’m only halfway through this video, and I want to just say THANK YOU! I’ve only been gardening for a couple of months and watching CaliKim has educated me sooo much! I’m a full time nanny and thought gardening would be fun to do with the boys I take care of. Preparing the bed, picking the veggies, and checking the growth everyday makes my spirit shine!!!

[@CaliKim29]

Aww- thank you for those kind words- I’m super happy your enjoying the vids and glad you are able to share your inspiration with the boys! Thanks for your support!

[@sheilawaddoups4217]

I am very impressed by the benefits described from using worm castings. I had never heard of using them before. It was interesting to learn that this product is aged 7-10 years. Thank you for the wonderful information you give us.

[@bryanadams4570]

I started a worm bed with an old piece of carpet used munched leaves and put carpet down , this was last year, this year I went out yesterday lifted carpet and had tons of worms and lots of castings, just scraped the top couple inches put down more leafs and put carpet back down to let them keep doing their thing, probably got 40 to 50 lbs of castings, gonna age them for a bit . just an idea for making your own.

[@spafa9]

Always thought the early you harvest the worm casting the better. I didn't realize that it is better to to let it sit longer. 7 to 10 years I was amazed. Good information.

[@durbanboy101]

Fantastic video. Thanks. Very educational. The proof is in your plants. Well done VermisTerra. Fantastic product.

[@CaliKim29]

Hi Jay, glad you enjoyed the video. My garden has been fantastic this year, due in large part to the Vermisterra worm tea and castings. Have you every tried it? Thanks for watching!

[@reginahudock7444]

fun video. always looking for ways to grow in the direction of growing organically. will be opening a nursery when I retire, been gardening Small scale for the family. I actually didn't know what was in worm castings, only knew that works are healthy for the garden. thank you. Regina

[@VermisterraEarthwormCastings]

Please let us know when you start your nursery! Maybe we can work together Regina!

Thank you for the worm castings video. I didn't realize that worm casting would be so good for starting plants. Thank you for that information and all the other details about using worm castings.

[@heaandgea2566]

I didn't know you could put it under the plant in new plantings. I've always spread it around the base of the plant. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@stephanierivera5515]

I did not know you can use worm castings with coconut coir for seed starting!! Definitely in my to do list now!! Thank you for the information! 😊

[@VermisterraEarthwormCastings]

Stephanie, yes it's very easy to mix and it won't smell or attract bugs using Vermisterra castings. Perfect for indoor use. Hope to see your seedling photos!

[@bjbrownbob]

Me either thank you for posting! :-)

[@lexieskiff6166]

Great video, I learned that worm castings could be used on seedlings. I'm excited to try to germinate seeds for my garden this year for the first time. Hello from Missouri, can't wait for spring to hurry up. :)

[@portiaholliday8741]

Lexie Skiff Start growing now indoors. You will need a gro light. This way you can afford the time of making mistakes before prime time, Spring comes.

[@lexieskiff6166]

Portia Holliday thanks! I just started some trial lettuce and spinach and some herbs a couple weeks ago. They are doing well, I'm about to transfer them to larger containers. I have saltwater tanks that I'm currently not focused on, so I borrowed my HO T5's from them to see how well they would grow veggies. So far so good. Here in 2 weeks I plan to start my main veggie seeds. :)

[@michellemcguire6249]

I love worm castings! I didn't know it wasn't as good to give your worms newspapers and cardboard. I just recently bought my first batch of red wigglers. Thank you for all the great information!

[@VermisterraEarthwormCastings]

Thanks for watching Michelle! So happy you have your own worms to raise!

[@6996katmom]

I have worms in a couple of bins and I use them around my plants. I didn't realize you could use so much of the worm castings to 1 square foot. I figured that a few tablespoons would do. Thanks for the information.

[@jimthompson9428]

Very interesting in depth lesson. Enjoyed it very much... I really didn't know anything about worm castings, I guess. But now I do

[@mikefisc9989]

From this video I learned that aged worm casting are more beneficial to plants than fresh castings. As a new gardener(just started last year) these tips are very helpful and I will write this down in my gardening notebook. This tip also ties in nicely with information from a composting book I recently read which stated that unfinished compost can rob nitrogen from your soil, and therefore your plants, since it will be used to complete the composting process. This video was very informative and very helpful and it will change how I use worm castings. Thank you so much Kim and Mindy! :)

[@erikarodriguez8209]

wow so much information!! thank you! I learned that more worms in your soil is good for you garden! starting mine and I hope it goes well! I'm pretty new at this.. plus I have clay soil so I now know I can use it to even out clay soil as well

[@VermisterraEarthwormCastings]

wonderful, Erika! Good luck with the worms. yes you can improve the condition of your soil. Using our Tea might be a quicker start since your worms will take some time to start producing! Thanks for watching!

[@portiaholliday8741]

erika Rodriguez Start planting and researching "Cover Crops" this attracts many worms. White Dutch clover is a good starter cover crop. It is all my roses eat. It provides nitrogen. Plant Buckwheat to harness phosphorus. Use bananas or kelp for potassium.

[@johndbs]

Didnt know you can add worm castings for starting seeds. I usually add it later on. Good to know now I will add to my starting mix

[@gayleollila3879]

I watched this to learn how to use worm castings and it was explained very well. Thank you!

[@mistressphoenix9314]

I have always heard that you want to use it quickly so learning it can be composted for years and be great for soil was good to know. Glad I watched the video.

[@ragweed1217]

Hello CaliKim, thank you for responding to my question about the worm casting.After I posted that question I went on your video list and noticed a video you did about the casting.I guess I missed it because I've been doing a lot of traveling lately, but I really do appreciate you taking the time out to respond, and yes I did put in an order for sure, because I trust your word on products. Thank You!

[@CaliKim29]

You are so welcome, ragweed1217, and thanks so much for your trust in the products we use! I love the quality of these products and being able to test and recommend something that I know works is really important. Would love to hear what results you have in your garden! Happy gardening!

[@thomaspasterfield]

Cool! I learned that worms can help even my hard, Alberta clay. My neighbour suggests getting rid of all the soil and bringing in topsoil to start fresh, but this would be a much less labour-intensive solution. Thanks!

[@VermisterraEarthwormCastings]

This will definitely be easier-- our tea would be a great solution for conditioning the soil because you just water the soil instead of having to dig or mix soil. I don't know if we can ship to Alberta though Thanks for watching!

[@lecardios]

I know the drawing is over, but i learned that the castings help the plant fight off disease. Amazing!

[@thecajunqueen100]

Great episode! I had no idea that you only have to feed castings once a growing season. That's awesome!! Just finished putting in the brambles today and added some castings at the bottom of the planting holes.

[@simplynikkinicole]

I love that they can be used in pots and that you don't have to use a lot as well as it won't burn your plants. Looking forward to hearing about the tea.

[@herminpanis1144]

It's a learning experience to know about worm castings. We were able to see worms in a container in our local garden financed by the municipal govt. But there's no one who explained to us its benefits. How blessed I am for the info received from this video. Thanks.

[@lashandastephens]

I bought the castings and the tea. I'm excited to see how much my garden changes this season. I hope that Vermisterra runs this special sale again in 2019.

[@acebuggers2744]

Cool that Costco lemons use your products, I didn't know that. I love the lemons from Costco. It is very interesting as well- the idea of aging the worm castings

[@bethcamden1369]

Great to hear all the details about the different ways to use worm castings. I'd love to try this out in addition to my homemade compost!

[@CaliKim29]

Hello Beth, cogratulations! Your name was drawn on the Giveaway livestream video last week! You will receive a Vermisterra sample pack of worm castings and worm tea. Please contact me at [e-mail] by 2/23/17 with your contact info and VermisTerra will get it sent out to you. Thanks for entering!

[@Topper1951]

I love this method of gardening. Very informative, I did not know to use Worm Casting in seed starting with Coco Core! I am so excited! I have a commercial greenhouse at our Ranch, we are moving there in about 5 months the house is nearly completed. I have been experimenting with various methods in the green house. Definitely doing all organic! I have already placed an order for some of the Vermis Terra produces! Thank you for this very helpful video!!

[@salgreco8353]

Wow that was a very informative video. I knew very little about worm casting before your video series. I’ve been composting for years and usually just pile up my leaves and yard waste into a corner of my yard. I always got a lot of worms in my compost and found that the more worms in my compost pile the better my plants would do. Now I know why. I’m very curious to try worm casting and worm tea in my garden this year. Thank you for sharing a great video.

[@incrediblelolo]

I had no clue weak plants attracted pests! Thanks for all the great information and sharing your sunny garden with those of us who are currently in gloomy -20ºC weather!

[@portiaholliday8741]

incrediblelolo God has a way of eliminating sick plants. All of the de composers will be found in your compost pile. Once you start composting you really begin to appreciate God's cycles.

[@malakingdude]

I like to mix castings with coco fiber which helps retsin moisture needed for microbes to survive. Great job ladies. Love you vids, Kim.

[@ShanDeGlamOrganix]

Kim, always a weather contrast between California and Ny, so I'm always trying to change my train of thought while watching your videos ❄☉🤔 I will be starting up MIgardener and Baker's Creek seedling next month, and I like how pure and concentrated this worm casting is! A little goes a long way! I didn't know it can be paired with cocoir as a seed starter, but will do! What a sweet girl to share her story. God bless her Grandpa and Dad! They would be so proud of her!!!!

[@diannebishop4098]

appreciated seeing how much castings to use for planting hole & for later feedings after plants established. Thanks. Compelled to Garden

[@shellyhollingsworth3909]

Great video Kim! I knew about worms being beneficial for the garden but was uninformed about worm castings. This spring will be only my second attempt at a spring/summer garden, so I need all the help I can get! I will use worm castings to get my seeds off to a healthy start.

[@CaliKim29]

Hello Shelly - they will be super helpful to your spring garden, your plants will be nice and healthy and productive when using worm castings! Thx for entering the giveaway and for watching!

[@hercule1610]

I'm definitely ordering this product. I loved the owners passIon for growing organically. I've considered using worm castings in seed starting. But I had no idea it wouldn't burn roots. I feel better about starting off my transplants with some castings now. It's so interesting how such a small amount could produce great results.

[@CaliKim29]

Hello H McCann - yes, it is super interesting to learn more about what a powerful, organic fertilizer worm castings are - my plants are loving them! Let me know how things go for you in your garden as the growing season progresses. Thanks for watching!

[@hahasarcasim]

Hi Cali Kim and Mindy. I learned what cocoa core is, I learned that worm castings soften the soil and help water and soak in easily, and I learned that worms know when food is raw or fresh and wont disturb the roots of your growing plants. Thanks for all the info. I'm excited to start my garden here in Chicago.

[@CaliKim29]

Hello - glad you learned and enjoyed! Can;t wait for you to start your garden!

[@alegarpo77]

Great video, thanks to CaliKim and her guest. I learned that worn castings provide soil with PH of 7 (neutral), also the worn castings are more than N,P,K, it has good bacterias for healthy roots.

[@VivianaDM]

Really cool video on worm castings! Didn't know you could use worm castings when starting seeds 🌱 will check them out!

[@CaliKim29]

It really does the trick, and keeps the fungus gnats down as well ! Thx for stopping by, Viviana, and for entering the giveaway!

[@pawatmwit]

Great to know! I've always had major gnat problem with indoor seedlings. Anyone know how / why it works against gnats??

[@terez2115]

Thanks for the informative information. I learned the great benefits of worm casting and worm tea. I look forward to using it in my vegetable garden. Thanks

[@patriciapreston8450]

Until this year I had never heard of worm castings. I am 72 and my parents always had gardens (my Dad also had a green thumb). I haven't been able to grow much. I am trying again and am so excited to try the castings and tea!

[@chriscooper5845]

I had no idea you could age worm castings. I always thought they lose their microbial activity the longer they sit. Thanks to both of you for the informative video.

[@betsybroker6786]

I am just starting to grow vegetables. Can’t wait to try. Thank you

[@maryjokattelman3321]

I did not know you could mix coco fiber with the worm compost. I used to teach science with students using a worm farm. When I retired I brought it home. It is great for plants and now I will use it to start plants too. Thank you

[@boblane7356]

great video, i never knew about aging castings for ten years to further breakdown the solid uncomposted materials.very interesting

[@scmarih]

I will be using worm castings to start my seeds from now on! Such an informational video, Kim. I didn't realize how beneficial worm castings can be. Super job!

[@ashketchum4evr]

I learned worm castings could be used to make a seedling mix with coconut coir

[@VermisterraEarthwormCastings]

great! yes the soilless mix is a great environment for the seeds. There's very little stress on the plant this way

[@johnkulcsar5801]

Ya can't use too much nor can ya "burn" the plants. I appreciated Mindy meticulously explaining the differences between Worm Castings, it's usage and positive benefits to the soil and my plants. THANKS.

[@yeshagandhi9912]

I did not know what worm casting is. Watching this video I leaned what it is. I would love to try it out. Thanks very informative video.

[@pollyannaleonardis1477]

Wow I was really impress with the worm casing,! Didn’t know about it learned a lot!!

[@CelestialChef90]

This young woman's sincerity & passion are quite moving

[@yes350yes]

I also use coco coir , buy it as a large block. When starting tomato seedlings after they are germinated and have a couple sets of true leaves then I will use the mix of coir and castings when I up pot from their cells. Until then I will use a normal seed starting sterile mix.

[@KDAlaska]

What a great video. You could tell she was serious about organic gardening, she had experienced the destruction of toxic chemicals personally.

Hey Kim, I didn't know that I should mix the worm casting with coconut core that seems easier than what I was doing. Being a disabled veteran anything that is easier is helpful. Thanks for the help.

Thank you so much, I had no idea about worm casting or worm tea. This is my first garden, and i would love to try this product. Thanks so much.
