I'm gathering my grow medium ingredients for my next grow. I picked up a bag of worm castings. I have read a lot of things on the net about castings having root aphids and other bugs in them. This makes me think I should only use them for tea, my original idea was to top dress a cup or two of raw castings on top when its time to add my dry fertilizer every couple weeks.
Please share your experience with me, buggy stuff or not?
