| I started raising worms in late november and was wanting to know if anyone in this forum has used the vermicompost mixed into the planting holes to get the shrubs off to a good start . I have read a few different ways to do it but most of you seem to have alot of experianceso i wanted to ask you. The average answer online was just put a 1/8 inch layer around the plant that is why i thought maybe mixing when planted may work better or would it burn the roots thankk you.I need all the help i can get |

| Not so much that it would burn the roots as there are issues with amending planting holes in general (others will chime in!) The worm compost is generally fully composted and makes a nice top-dressing - unless you're running a restaurant you won't produce very much. Most of the folks that I know that raise worms use the compost to amend their vegetable garden soil. |
