Earthworm Castings

Description

Nutrient-rich with excellent water-holding capability, earthworm castings are an active biological mix of bacteria, enzymes, broken-down plant matter and animal manure, as well as earthworm cocoons (while damp). This diverse microbial population plays an important part in soil fertility by converting complex substances into available nutrients.

The castings are the excrement of earthworms which have been fed organic matter and in turn produce this valuable soil enrichment, which doubles as both a soil conditioner and fertilizer. They are rich in water-soluble plant nutrients, and can contain more humus than what is normally found in topsoil.

Properties

The nutrients in worm castings are easily absorbed and immediately available to the plant. They improve soil structure, enhancing the soil's ability to retain water and inhibit root rot.

Not to be confused with the less nutritional "vermicompost," our pure worm castings are 100% finished, free of pathogens, weed seeds and other variables, and guaranteed to have high levels of the following essential ingredients:

• Nitrogen
• Phosphorus
• Potassium
• Calcium
• Magnesium
• Trace minerals (quickly active and time-released for maximum results.)

Usage

For high yield growth and long-term soil health, our worm castings benefit soil health by:

• improving water holding capacity
• increasing plant height, leaf area and root mass
• enriching soil with micro-organisms, thereby adding hearty hormones and enzymes
• attracting additional earthworms for further nutrient supply
• improving root growth and structure
• increasing speed of growth and overall yield

Worm castings are available in truckload quantities only. Call 888-894-1782 for a quote or email us.
