I got a 5 lb bag for $10 Its kind of expensive for me but I heard so many good things about it.
That will work, just try to cover it with mulch, maure, leafs, anything oraganic. There is a reason for this, if I remember right now the sun will dry it out kill the microorganisms in the castings. Also the microorganisms will grow and spread once applied. Because I only screen my castings once I do went up with a good amount of baby worms in my yard, which cants do anything but good.

Thats right on par at $2 a lb, I sell mine for the same price around town and usually throw some free castings when people buy plants or pups from me.
