Vermicast ( Worm Castings )

Worm Castings (Vermicast) are small organic granules formed by earthworms feeding on the soil. During formation, the earthworm breaks down complex components of the soil into simple forms which can then be utilized by plants.

Worm castings (often called Black Gold) are a very effective, natural fertilizer that provide essential nutrients to plants while improving soil structure by increasing aeration, improving drainage, and enhancing moisture retention!

In addition to nutrients, Vermicast is loaded with beneficial bacteria and fungi that support other organisms in the soil food web – a very important component of organic gardening.

Studies show that using worm castings in the garden can help plants grow significantly larger, stronger, and produce more abundant and better-quality flowers, fruit, and vegetables. It can also increase a plant’s resilience to pests, drought, heat, disease, and other stress.

Benefits:

• High in organic matter, slow release well balanced nutrients and beneficial micro-organisms.

• Promotes plant growth and root structure. 
• The granular structure improves aeration, water retention, drainage and root penetration.
• Naturally pH balanced.
• No danger of over-fertilizing or ‘burning” plants
