Several tests have proven plants do not grow well in only vermicompost. The=
y do better with 15% -20% application up to a maximum of 30% thereafter the=
 VC is wasted.
This is where Basalt & Granite rock dusts, Bone & blood meal come into play=
 in boosting the missing elements.

        One thing off the topic: There is one guy here who is considered on=
e of the largest vermi compost producer in this area. He is able to grow ca=
rrots on sea level in the Philippines. He is using only vermi compost. The =
climate is not suitable for carrots at all, but since he uses vermi compost=
 he can. I think there is really more potential in vermi compost or tea whi=
ch is not discovered yet.
