Hi, I'm new to gardening and have been reading about organically growing veggies in containers. It seems that, as you said, you need a water-soluble fertilizer because there aren't many microbes in container environments. My question is, if you add about 20% worm castings to the potting mix then would that make it possible to use non-liquid fertilizer thereafter, like a pre-packaged bag, because you would now have microbes in your mix?
