How to Separate Castings in a Worm Farm

Separating the castings from a worm farm can make the difference between planting, sprouting plants and flowers and having your plants die within a month of planting them. Worm manure is packed with nitrogen, which is an element that allows plants to flourish. According to the Rainbow Plant Food Web site, nitrogen deficiency is the most common nutritional problem affecting plants worldwide. Using the castings from your farmed worms can help your plants become healthy.
