myth111 - I've never seen worm castings for sale in nurseries or garden centres. I suspect most people would set up their own worm farms and use the castings in their garden rather than selling it. You could try contacting places like Edendale farm in Eltham which are run by the local council and set up as educational farms. I bought my worm farm and worms from them. They might be able to point you in the right direction. GW

Hi myth111, I sell my worm castings and worm tea as well as using them in my garden, I also sell worms for $25.00 for a 1000, I started with 1000 worms and now have heaps of them so I started selling them.
If you need any of this, you can email me at rodliz12002@yahoo.com.
Anyone needed worm castings, worm tea and worms email me, because I only do this at home I sell this in a very low price.

Both are great additions but pound for pound, worm castings are superior. They are considered the Cadillac of composts - relatively high nutrient content, very high populations of beneficial microorganisms, a good source of humic acid and they contain beneficial plant growth hormones (auxins). They enhance seed germination. They also absorb 3-4 times their weight in moisture, contibuting significantly to soil moisture retention and they are heavily populated with both nitrogen fixing and anti-pathogenic bacteria. Although Al makes some very valid points, worms tend not to make great pets :-) I wouldn't trade my bunnies for worms but I would consider both. Since I have a source for as many worm castings as I can use, I opt to keep my bunnies both for their appeal and their poop output.

I can only speak from my experience but in the time Ive had a worm bin I havent harvested the castings, I leave them in the bin and only take some out as I need them so there's always been a high percentage of castings in there. Ive never noticed any problems, the worms are happy and healthy and seem to like it down in the castings where it's always nice and moist If the worms were unhappy or trying to leave then I would suspect a problem but it's never happened

for me i'd be putting them in the garden wherever now, storage might result in loss of benefit, also would need to be dry i would imagine as stored wet in bags it could rot or mildew. our worm farming now occurs in the gardens where the benefits are delivered direct and where they are needed most. len Here is a link that might be useful: lens garden page
