Vermicompost is also known as worm castings, or vermicast. It’s different from traditional compost formed in a compost heap as it’s much richer in nutrients. Vermicompost is too rich to be used as seed compost, but it’s a fantastic addition to potting compost or as a top dressing to soil. Worm castings benefit soil in three ways – they improve the physical structure of soil, add nutrients and attract deep burrowing earthworms already present in the soil. All in all, vermicompost is pretty good stuff to have around.
