Re: Can this be my 5th compost?
By the description that is not compost, it is worm castings. Worm castings can be used as part of the mixture as long as it is not more than 10% of the total.

Re: Can this be my 5th compost?
Worm castings are honorary compost as they provide nutrients. Try to limit them to 5-10% of the compost as they are high in phosphorus which moves through soil slowly (compare to nitrogen that moves through fast) and can build up.
