Eliza Anne from Facebook asks: Should you sterilize (by baking) worm compost before blending it into a seed starting mix? Also, how much should you use for seed starting?
Thanks for the Question Eliza!
If you feel like baking, stick with cookies( I like chocolate chip ) , but Please don’t bake your castings. Sterilizing castings kills everything that you want in your soil that helps your plants thrive. The ONLY time I would ever bake any soil is if I am trying to grow a particular moss. As far as seeds starting goes, you can add as much castings to your mix as you want! Castings won’t burn so feel free to go crazy with them!

Oh awesome, thanks for answering my question.
I’m the same Eliza you met at Green Drinks the other night. Just opened my laptop so I could go to the beneficial bug website you mentioned during your talk to see if they have anything that would eat excess pillbugs. I love pillbugs but they don’t seem to have balanced out with enough natural predators so far. When the population explodes (which seems to be always, for years now) they eat everything I try to direct-sow. My spinach seedlings all popped up and then vanished overnight. If I go out with a flashlight, I catch them in the act. Wish the roly polies would stick to consuming the dying stuff in our compost pile, where they are much more welcome.
So far the pillbug population is the only thing that seems to be thrown unbalanced in a negative way by lots of humus in my soil. I’ve tried diatomaceous earth but they built nests in it… or maybe they were eating it.
Guess I need to start some of those non-baked seedlings and transplant when they’re too big for the bugs to be interested. Would much rather find a lower maintenance fix, though. Maybe more rove beetles would eat them.
Thanks again!
