Several tests have proven plants do not grow well in only vermicompost. The=

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 one of the=
largest vermi compost producer in this area. He is able to grow carrots 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 which is no=
t discovered yet.
