9. You can buy the worm castings w/out the worms.

Dec 2011

Every year, I get a 30lb. bag pf Wiggle Worm brand. You can buy it online (http://www.hayneedle.com/sale/wiggleworm.cfm?source=channel_intelligence_gbase&afsrc=1&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=HDR462-2) but I get mine at my local green/hydroponic gardening supply store.

The stuff is magic. I blend it in w/my soil when potting and sprinkle it about once a month after that. You can also make "worm tea" by soaking it in water overnight and pour that as a liquid fertilizer.
