[Digestion] Digestate comparison to liquid worm castings (Alexander Eaton)

[Matt Lorig]

Hello everyone,

I want to get a dry fertilizer product that I can bag and hopefully sell.   I have been planning to take my liquid digestate and add sawdust or something similar to dry it and then have the worms eat that.   I've read somewhere that if I was to filter and dry the digestate I would lose a lot of N with the water.  I know I would lower the Nitrogen percent by adding the sawdust but would I gain by not losing the Nitrogen with the water?  Also seems I would improve the fertilizer by having worm casts and more microorganisms from the worms gut.  

I'm about ready to actually start this but since the subject has come up again I thought I should ask the list for comments.  It would be nice to know before I start if I'm wasting my time.
