Worm castings are not a fertilizer. They are an all natural soil builder made by the earthworm. Because it is a soil builder and not a fertilizer, it has the ability to transform your soil into a living topsoil.
Full of nutrients and living microbes, they continually work to improve your soil and makes a great environment for all living things. Castings are a natural product so they will never burn your plants, which gives you a lot more flexability than you get when you use a synthetic product. For example, you can use your castings on your fruits and vegetable and use the same product to feed your orchids and hibiscus and not worry about it burning your plants.
It never loses potency over time like synthetic products. The microbes in worm castings stay dormant until activated by water so the product has an unlimited shelf life.
Worm castings will also aid in breaking down your compost. The living microbes will break down compost about 45% quicker.
Worm castings are the dry, odorless by-product earthworms create as they burrow through the soil. Earthworms not only aerate the soil but they also enrich the soil with valuable nutrients. This makes bigger and healthier plants and a greener planet.
A little goes a long way! Only a tablespoon a month is enough for a small potted plant or 10 lbs. per 100 sq. ft.
