I was working in my garden today and found something totally amazing. While looking over my summer squash seedlings I notice the root system over growing the pots I used to start them in. Now the reason I was amazed is the fact I added only 5% worm castings to some compost I made out of yard waste as well as a little peat moss. Keep in mind the seedling picture below is of a six day old plant. It actually broke ground just six days ago and yet the root system was hanging out of the bottom of the starter cup by at least 5 inches.
Anyway thought some of you would appreciate the photo as I did the best I could while holding the plant in one hand and taking a photo with the other 
I will post more on my comparison with different amounts of worm castings as the seeds germinate…
