Introduction
The miraculous little creatures known as earthworms create one of the very best nutrient and bacteria-rich composts you can buy. Worms digest food particles and other organic matter in the soil along with a certain number of microbes. As they digest this “food” they excrete what is called worm castings – a dark, rich, nutrient filled, microbe abundant compost that can enrich your soil providing a powerful foundation for plant growth and plant health.
Product Overview
- This super charged organic product is becoming more available in the marketplace due to the findings of the magical benefits it provides for gardens.
- Worm castings are the end product of the decomposition process, resulting in nutrients, minerals, and trace elements in one of the best forms readily available for plant use.
Positives
- Most important, worm castings are a super food for the plants you’re growing in your garden as well as in your flower beds.
- Because worm castings are the end product of the decomposition process, this fertilizer is nutrient rich in a form much more available and ready for plants to uptake.
- Due to strong, healthy plant growth when worm casting are added to the garden soil, the plants have a stronger resistance to pests and disease.
- A lot of nutrients not commonly found in other fertilizers are present in worm castings along with trace elements.
- An imbalance in the soil may cause iron deficiency by locking up the iron and making it unavailable to plants. Worm castings are helpful in reversing this.
- Worm castings will not burn your garden plants.
- This product does not have an unpleasant odor.
- Humic acid is also present in worm castings which aids in nutrient absorption by the plants. Humic acid also helps with water retention in the soil.
- As the worms take in some of the soil’s microbes, they put out even more microbes.
- Adding worm castings to potting soil results in stronger and more vigorous plants.
- Adding worm casting to garden soil results in stronger plants with higher yield.
Negatives
- Honestly, the only negative I can come up with is the price. It is pricier than some of the chemical fertilizers, but it makes up for this in all the added nutrients, trace elements, humic acid, microorganisms and the availability of these nutrients to the plants.
Conclusion
I really like using worm castings in my garden as well as my potted flowers and trees. The availability of nutrients seems to give the plants an immediate boost, growing healthier and stronger throughout the season.
This is another great way to give back to nature, enriching the soil and making it possible for the Earth to keep filling our tables with an abundance of healthy, nutrient-rich food. We grow stronger plants and in return we receive stronger bodies.
