[compost_tea] vermicastings versus vermicompost



Castings come through worm. Vermicompost has castings in it, but can and usually does contain considerable organic matter that has not been through the worm. You really need to be extra, extra careful handling some of this as there is a disease known as organic dust toxic syndrome (ODTS) which can result in airway irratation, stomach and intenstinal problems.....a dust mask will help.
 
Testing is important. Know your source. There is some great worm vermicompost out there and some bad vermicompost. Also, you have to consider diversity.
 
Cheers,
