How heavy are the buckets? I can buy bagged worm castings 35 lbs for $30 locally, but I'm not sure how the bagged stuff would compare to the fresh.

Pretty heavy buckets. And it's a huge operation here's a pic of only a quarter of the containers they do it in

I take the back that picture shows all the containers

Yeah, the stuff in bags isn't as good because it's been sitting around and a lot of the beneficial bacteria are dead. Fresh is better. Whether that's a good value is up to the buyer really. If you get more in the future from these guys you'll have your answer...

Put a board over the buckets.

That's outrageous! I can get a yard for $150. Maybe it's just cheaper here. There IS a ton of horses here. Hope they do ya good.

75 bucks is insane for around me, but in you area it may be the going rate... It's all supply and demand... If it it that expensive, you are probably better off starting up you own worm bin...

I would look around though, you can probably find other sources that are more cost effective... 2 buckets for $150 just seems REALLY inflated to me...

It does seem very high priced, but then again, it is suppose to be a non-profit doing good in the communities, so something of a charitable donation as well.

That's just what you need to sprinkle lightly over your radishes. The humic acids in v-compost are especially fine for the little root crops.

Do mix in that handful you plan to place beneath plants. V-compost is "salty" and so should never be more than 15 percent of the soil mix, and well mixed in.

U said " do " mix a handful in hole before transplants goes in correct ?

Chicago,

Yes, do mix some in to the hole you are transplanting to, and mix it in well. Just don't over do it, a little goes a long way.

Thanks this stuff works well.

Hope
