Hand-sifted WORM CASTINGS
Our marvelous worm castings
are screened to 1/8" for highest possible purity!
Adding worm castings to your
soil increases the beneficial microbial diversity,
creating an enriched
environment which will stimulate optimal plant health and vitality.
We all know that compost on
its own is a wonderful thing for plants & soil, but worm castings have
significantly larger
populations of beneficial micro-organisms added to them by the worms' digestive
system.
Worm castings are the
"value-added" natural health & growth enhancer that is produced
when composting worms
"bio-digest" organic matter, such as
yard & food wastes & aged manure.
Scientists are
currently studying the many benefits of castings.
Studies are showing that there is a reduction
in plant disease
when leaves are
sprayed with “castings tea”.
Directions
for Use
For best results, castings
should be applied monthly, watering after each application.
The following directions are
a good guide, but quantities

parts potting soil.
Castings “Tea”: For weekly watering, use ¼ -
½ cup for every 2 quarts of warm water. Soak overnight,
stir, then water as usual.
