I have not quite started my worm farm here in singapore, tho I have the farms, I will be getting my worms next week. I think they are the tigers. As for using the castings, I try to save as many eggs as possible but can't save them all. There have been some reports of worms taking over regions of the US and the negative impact that has to the local environment, but the worms as far as I understand are the surface dwellers and like certain environments which makes their survival out of the farm difficult. Looking forward to my new worms next week!!
Here is a recipe for making ones own enzymes for cleaning. My cousin in KL has been using this quite successfully. I will be trying this soon.
1 part black/raw sugar
3 parts vegetables and fruit waste.
10 parts water
Leave them in the air tight plastic bottle for three months, shaking every few days, open the jar to let the gas escape. Store in dark places/ cover with dark cloth.
Fermentation will take place in the bottles for 3 months. Then after filtration and removal of the residue, garbage enzyme is obtained. The residue can be used again for a new batch of production by adding fresh garbage. The residue can also be dried, then blended and buried in the ground as a fertilizer
Usage
Dilution Ratio
Enzyme for fertilizer 1:100 / 500 / 1000
Enzyme for insecticide 1:1000
Enzyme for pesticide 1:100
For anti odour / air freshener 1: 200
Plant hormones to get more flowers and fruits 1: 500
When the enzyme is diluted with water, it becomes more effective.
For shampoos, dish-washing liquids, detergents: add 1 teaspoon of enzymes for 500cc, 1 tablespoon of enzymes for 1 litre to enhance the nutrients and reduce the side effects of the chemicals in the detergents.
In homes, garbage enzyme is used:
- as a household cleaning liquid
- to remove foul odours, ( esp good for pets)
- molds and grime in the kitchen and toilet
- as an anti-bacterial and anti-viral agent
- to drive away insects
- to clean carpets and remove ticks
- for laundry washing and ironing
- for mopping floors
- for cleaning cars
Have been using enzyme balls w/o washing powder since Dec ( bought from stores) in my washing machine and clothes come out clean, may need to pre soak whites if extremely muddy/ food stained. Each ball lasts up to 1000 washes.
Apparently all the bamboo one's contaminate the environment 
That way I can eat classy like while on the Asian billiards tour!
