What about worm castings? First, let me say I have very little gardening
experience, but would like to plant one this year. Have been reading that
worm castings is excellent/best fertilizer for garden. It is very expensive,
is it worth the cost?

If you have to ask, it is.

10% of your soil as worm castings at $25/40# bag?

A greenhouse would be nice to.
How about potting soil at $12/2 cu.ft?
I understand a drip irrigation system on a timer is very helpful.
How about a house in Solano, CA, that has mild to warm weather all year
round for $300,000?

If you prep your garden as you have been instructed, the worms will come.
Do you want the highest volume production from your garden or highest
quality? Do you want to do it cheap or spare no expense?
Yer not going to get both.

You can dick around with paper and pencil until the cows com home but
there is nothin' like making mistakes for learning. Now get out there
and get your hands dirty.
