Worm castings

I heard that it is good for the plants to mix worm castings in with your soil but could you like get a earth worm and put in your 5 gallon pot of soil while growing a plant in it? or would it be bad for it, just a idea i had but not sure it would work.

i actually dont think it will be that bad to add a worm or two the tunnels they dig help with drainage and give the roots easier growth throught the pot. and worm castings are the by product aswell. i mean worms are in the ground outside i dont see why adding a couple to your pot would be a problem but what do they eat? i have no clue

Do it all the time! plus the worms start reproducing too, my recycling totes are full of them now, I just dig some out and put them in my pots at tranplants, perfect for aerating the soil. Mine love oatmeal and banana peels!

big earth worm's works wonders for your soil for 2 reasons...1, yes worm casting (their shit) is amazing fertalizer for your plant, and they also makes tunnals in your soil keeping your soil very aire, and loose, which is a good thing, i love finding the lil basters and puting them in my garden
