Worm castings as top cover
 
I am a huge fan of worm castings; I mix into soil when readying new
planting beds. What about using it as top cover.
Both to keep soil from drying out, and -- most important -- "send"
nutrients down via watering.

Any experience out there?

Hi There
I am new to worm farming and i didnt know where to start but just wanted to give it a go. So thought i would have a search around the internet to see what info was available and couldnt really find much! However i did find a really great book to download which was incredibly informative and really easy to read. Now I am so excited as i have a better understanding as a complete novice and i highly recommend it to anyone starting out.
I found it under this website: Beginners Guide to Starting a Worm Farm

would appreciate any further advice from anyone.
