Worm castings (worm poop) are amongst the most balanced natural fertilizers known to man and contrary to compost straight away usable as plant food. now aquaponics is the amazing concept of growing fish and plants together in a mutually beneficial system.. Worm castings are produced by worms in an aquaponics growbed. fish solids enter the growbed trough a pump which lifts the solids to the media bed. you need to add worms to the media bed in order for the solids to break down faster. worm castings speed up the breakdown of nutrients for the plants. this is to avoid clogging up the media bed over time.. Add worms to the medium of an aquaponics grow bed and they will dive into it out of sight within a minute or two to escape from the light. worms breath through their skin and as long as the water is regularly flowing from the tank with the fish to the growbed and back they will have a great time living in the growing medium, which in my system consists of gravel..
Vermiponics is a novel way to grow plants that uses the nutrients from worm castings (specifically from worm-tea) to grow plants in a soil-less (or hydroponic) environment. vermiponics is similar to aquaponics (which is also soil-less) but instead of the nutrients being provided by fish waste that is broken down by bacteria, the nutrient solution in vermiponics is made from worm-tea instead.. Worm castings by: kdb just read all of the comments, i am new to hyrdo/aquaponics, started last year, i did a lot of reading on worm castings. not knowing what i was doing (still don't) i set-up two home made hydroponics bins (bought at home depot), let the water aerate for a couple of days, placed a bag of worm castings into the water with a.
