First time garden question....Have been reading about worm castings, and
seeking opinions......Some say pretty much the greatest fertilizer
ever...Others say home gardeners don't need fertilizer or just use
composted
cow manure...I would like to get best result I can...my soil appears ok -
mostly black dirt, some clay though. Anyone here have experience with
this
stuff? Which way will I get best results? Thanks

I have heard worm castings are great, but I would recommend just encouraging
the earthworms to come and do their thing right in your yard. I've got
heavy clay soil, but a heavy layer of dead leaves and a sprinkle of cow poo
have done wonders for my soil, as the earthworms come in droves.
