What Are Worm Castings?  

    Worm Castings are a natural occurrence of the earthworm digestive process. Worm castings are actually just worm poop, really! A worms diet consists of broken down and decaying organic matter. And after a worms body gets what it needs from its food it passes what it does not need. Just like the human body. Unlike the human body however, what an earthworm passes is wrapped in a small almost oval shaped pellet called a cast or casting. All of these castings have been wonderfully designed to act as a fertilizer and soil amendment. Each one contains much of what plants and the soil needs to stay healthy and productive.

    Worm castings contain some of the following things; nitrogen, iron, manganese, beneficial bacteria, beneficial nematodes, and calcium. This is not a complete list and what worm castings all contain is constantly changing in nature because a worms diet in the ground is constantly changing. Worm castings harvested from a worm farm are going to be more consistent in their properties, because in at a worm farm we can control what the worms eat. Thus controlling what their castings are comprised of.

Other characteristics include, but not limited to the following:

Worm castings are high in Nitrogen

Contain all of the trace elements plants need

Are all natural making them completely safe to use around kids, pets, and ponds

Will not burn you hands or plants, no matter how much or how little you use

Worm castings help improve soil structure

Worm castings help improve water retention

Worm castings help improve drainage

 

With all of that being said, why should you choose to get your worm castings from us? Here are a few reasons why:

We raise our own worm, we are not a contract grower, so we can make sure we always have a healthy and productive herd.

We use our own specially formulated organic worm food. We know what they are eating so we know what we are getting from them.

We only package in clear bags. Shouldn't you be able to see what you are buying?

We are family owned and operated. Whenever you are speaking, e mailing, or corresponding in any with us you are dealing with someone who will take the time to actually help you. And that person helping you can actually make a decision right then and there.

 

Thank you for all of your time. We hope to hear from you soon.

 

Sincerely,
