hey guys. i have some worm castings on the way, 30 LBS of um, and i was wandering if it would benefit my plants,which are about 3 feet tall already and about to start flowering, to spread a layer on top of the existing soil. they are in buckets, and i heard that spreading a inch layer or so on top of the soil will help the plant grow. would it help with flowering? I also am going to plant some lowryders in a week or two, should i wait to put it around them? if theres enough to do both the existing plants i have and the lowryders then i wil, but which one would benefit more from a nice layer of worm castings? im jus thinking that it might be to late to use the castings to help plants that are already a few feet, so maybe i should use them on the LR. what exactly do they do? hope that makes sense. thanks alot
Worm castings are a composty, humus type of soil ammendment. Top dressing with castings isn't going to get you much, it would be better used to mix up with soil befoe your next crop, giving you a richer better soil.
