Description
The Soil Microbiome’s Best Friend! Worm castings don’t just feed your plants—they transform your soil into a living, breathing ecosystem. Worm castings contain beneficial enzymes and plant growth hormones like auxins and cytokinins, which help plants grow stronger and resist disease naturally!
The organic nature of worm castings makes it a safer and better alternative to chemical fertilizers. Worm castings contain minerals such as concentrated nitrates, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus. Worm castings are also a 100% organic fertilizer that can increase a plant’s yield, protect both soil and plants from diseases, help the soil retain moisture and won’t burn your plants.
Main reasons to use worm castings :
- Plants grow faster – Seeds germinate faster and plants sprout faster than in regular soil
- Soil aeration – The structure of worm castings is difficult to compact down like ordinary soil creating more airflow and in return making plants grow faster
- Water retention – Worm castings are super absorbent retaining moisture much better than ordinary soil which could lead to up to 50% water-saving
- 100% Organic – Worm castings are completely natural containing no chemicals or pesticides
- No heavy metals – Red wiggler worms can absorb heavy metals during the vermiculture process
- Won’t burn plants – some chemical fertilizers tend to burn plants because of their high nitrogen content
- Natural pesticide – worm castings have a natural pesticide effect on plants grown in castings
- Increased yield – Many studies have shown an increase in crop yields by 25%
Use castings to brew your very own worm tea. The fresher your worm tea the better!
