i am looking for help with using worm compost, how much should I add to 8lts. of compost for potting on young plants, and should I also add feeding with it when mixing it with the compost

it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

I thought this was going to be a trick question - like
How much worm compost can one worm make?
No idea to both questions, rary, sorry -
Worm compost is full of nutrients so in theory you shouldn't need to add any feed. The general advice for using the liquid that comes out of the bottom seems to be to dilute it 10 fold, so you might want to do the same with the compost - ie 1 part worm compost to 9 parts compost. I must admit though that when I use my own worm compost or compost from my hotbin (which turns into a wormery of its own accord in the winter) I use it for potatoes and don't dilute it. The potatoes don't seem to mind, but you might find it rather rich for seedlings.A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP. - Leonard NimoyComment

Thanks Penellype, I will try and go for that sort of ratio and will post on here how the look in a couple of weeks or so, if I remember.
And VC when would I set up trick questions, I leave that to you
