worm Bedding/castings?

hello, I was doing some local seaching for organic matter, and I found a store that sells Night crawlers (for fishing with) and they have Excess worm bedding, the guy there told me if you put the worm bedding on your plants (around them) that you gotta becareful because it will brun them because of all the nitrogen. I wonder if I could use night crawler bedding to grow

Hard to say, because in my area, worms are usually in a newspaper, shredded cardboard, or a straw like bedding. It's also common to see them in peat moss or coir. The food is usually compost or vegetables, but some companies keep them on a cardboard only diet.

Also, if you have a choice between red wigglers and night crawlers, go with the red wigglers. The red wigglers are typically fed better, usually raised with the intention of adding to the garden, they are more social (like being around lots of other worms), and they are more prone to stay near the first foot of soil. In contrast, night crawlers are the ones most commonly fed the cardboard diet, they are raised to be big and fat so they're attractive to fish, in nature they prefer to roam alone, and they are usually found much deeper in the soil.

Short answer, YES!!!

That bedding is more or less vermicompost rather than pure castings and I use it all the time.

I have my own bins and when I harvest, don't go to all the extra effort to separate everything out. It's all good anyway.

I have one bin of RW and one of nightcrawlers, both work just fine and I have plenty of fish bait to boot.

The only way to do better is to start your own bins.

i would add it to my compost pile for sure.

the bedding is peat moss he said.

Peat moss is fine. it's slightly acidic, but beyond that it shouldn't burn your plants. Now I know worm castings can have an NPK of 1-0-0 or 2-1-1, so maybe that's the nitrogen he's talking about, but I wouldn't worry about it burning your plants. Just keep it away from your seedlings until you know how strong it is. And throwing it into the compost wouldn't hurt either, no matter how much N is in there.

I would love to have it. Shit Worm Shit
