My wormery has done its stuff and as a result I have a tray of

lovely
brown material.

I am after recipes and advice on how to use the worm cast

material.


Lasagne?
Shepherds Pie?


Otherwise throw it over the back wall at night into the neighbours

garden.

Seriously though (sorry for the silly jokes; I could not resist),

I thought
the main reason for a wormery is to use it to get rid of organic

waste that
would otherwise get dumped with the rest of the household rubbish,

in
a nice
manner.


Well, there's an example of why people should be very careful of
usenet "advice".

The left over brown stuff is a bonus? Dig it into your favourite
flower or vegetable bed?


It's the most valuable by product of wormcomposting, a seedfree
composted plant fertiliser ideal for adding to potting compost.

Flower
and vegetable beds should be full of wormcasts anyway, so don't

waste it
on them.


What proportions of what would you recommend?
