As composting red worms
eat food scraps, manure, and other organic substances, they excrete tiny pellets called
worm castings
or organic fertilizer.
Organic gardeners rely on this method of worm composting
because this organic fertilizer
balances the soil’s PH and helps retain moisture. Other benefits of the
organic lawn fertilizer
are improved drainage and aeration
of the soil through aggregate formation.
Unlike chemical fertilizers that can burn tender roots, worm castings
is organic fertilizer
that is safe to use at any concentration. Organic fertilizer
provides strong beneficial control over plant pathogens and harmful
roots-eating nematodes, giving you an excellent organic insect and disease repellent.
Plants love organic fertilizer
made from worm castings!
Along with many other trace elements and micro-nutrients, castings have 5-11 times more nitrogen, potassium, calcium,
phosphorus, potash, and magnesium than topsoil.
The minerals are water-soluble and time-released, so they are easily available to the plant when the plant needs
them, both immediately and long-term.
This organic fertilizer
is safe ! There is no need to fear overuse or misuse. Use as little or as much as you like.
No mixing, no measuring, and no chemical odor. (Castings
have a rich, earthy smell). Simply add to the soil and water
the plants. And there's more! Worm castings
are ALIVE with beneficial bacteria and other organisms that actually
pull additional nutrients from the air. Your soil is healthier so your plants are healthier.
