Worm castings are the richest natural fertilizer known to humans. By simply applying a ½ inch top dressing of pure worm castings, you can provide enough nutrients to feed your plants for more than two months. Worm castings stimulate plant growth more than any other natural product on the market, and unlike artificial fertilizers, it is absorbed easily and immediately by plants without the risk of nitrogen burn.
Benefits
Plants Grow Faster – Seeds germinate faster in worm castings than in regular soil. In addition to speeding up the germination process, plants will also sprout up faster with worm castings.
Soil Aeration – Due to the physical structure of the castings, they’re extremely difficult to pack down like regular dirt. This means oxygen will be able to make it’s way through the soil to the roots of your plants, which improves growth.
Water Retention – When mixed with castings, soils have a better chance of holding onto essential water, using less water.
All-Natural – Worm castings are chemical-free, contain no artificial pesticides, and can be used in growing organic produce.
Burn-Proof – One common problem with a lot of fertilizers is that they are too high in nitrogen. This makes it easier to burn the roots of your plants if you put too much on.
Natural Resistance – You may see an increase natural pest-resistance with plants grown in castings, avoiding the use of chemicals on crops.
Increased Yield – The healthy nutrients that plants need are water-soluble and can be absorbed right away. Worm castings can fill in nutritional gaps in your plants.
