Will worm castings sold in a bag work for "starting with vermicomopost"? How much does starting with vermicompost speed up the process?

I have been vermicomposting for over ten years and I (for some reason unknown to me) love it. Worms eat my garbage. I think you might pull that off and here is how. Start by putting a layer of paper in the bottom, used coffee filters, shredded toilet paper tubes, or shred the box it comes in. This is how I will start mine. Then if you want to, cover that with vermicompost that I guesse you will purchase. Generally that will cost you about $1.00-$3.00 a pound not including shipping. There is no such thing as 100% pure vermicompost, I still can't tell the difference between a coffee ground and a worm turd. Next, add some kitchen scraps enough to cover the middle of the bag. Add some more of the VC to cover that and let that sit for a week. Pour water over that and have a pan or bucket underneath at all times. Add a pound of red wigglers, thet cost about $35.00 a pound including shipping and only buy from a vendor that offers a live delivery guarantee. Cover that with loose shredded bedding, like the rest of the box it came in. Contact the seller about joining the facebook group and have fun. I have been enjoying this hobby for a while and there is a learning curve. I have had a lot of fun and have made several friends world wide. Yours Truly, Mark from Kansas

where is this manufactured?

Hi Margaret, The Urban Worm Bag is manufactured in China and imported to the US. But never fear, I worked very closely with the engineers over there and they actually ensured that I ended up with an even higher quality product than I anticipated. Thanks for the question!

Question for the seller- would the worms do ok in a non-air-conditioned Florida garage? It gets very hot. Thanks!

I live in Sacramento CA our Summers are 100+ with about 1-2 weeks out of the summer hitting 110-115. My Worm bag performed great throughout the summer. I suspect it is due to the size of the bag, and the temperature is cooler towards the center of the bag contents(My bag is nearly full). I believe you may have problems if your bag is mostly empty, or you're just starting, as there isn't as much of a temperature gradient for the worms to escape the heat. To combat this on the super hot days, Put a couple of 2-liter bottles of water in the freezer and put them on top of the castings on the hottest part of the day. But if you have a large quantity of castings already, you should be fine as the worms will migrate to cooler sections of the bag.

How do you harvest the worm tea from this kit ?

You harvest worm castings from a worm bin, not tea. However, you can make tea from the castings if you want. The castings are harvested from the bottom, where a smaller section opens with a zipper. Once the worms have composted the food and bedding sufficiently, they should be working in the upper layers with the finished compost at the bottom. Unzip and remove, leaving the worms and newer food/bedding above. A worm bin needs to be moist but not wet.
