Re: I Need Worms urgently
You urgently need to forget the worms and worm-casts, the simplest way is always the best.

Re: I Need Worms urgently
Would differ with the more experienced posters above.
I would say go for it. Its time consuming but a fun process, and castings do outperform regular compost. There's a plethora of information on the web (including studies) which you can read up on regarding my claim.
You can get worms from a large nursery near you where they'd collect them over a few days, just tip em for the effort. Meanwhile i'll ask my gardener where he gets them for me.
