Worm castings, also known as vermicompost, is worm poop. Our worms are fed a mixture of organic materials which includes other soil amendments such as kelp meal and biochar.

Their main benefit to your soil is the introduction of microbiology through the bacteria and fungi present in the castings and sifted bedding

Worm castings:

  • Are Odor Free - Even though they are manure from worms, they smell like rich earth!

  • Improve Soil Structure - The earthworm secretions create a crumbly structure in your soil by the actions of the microorganisms.

  • Promote Plant Growth - The biology - bacteria and fungi - present in worm castings build up the ability of your soil to cycle nutrients and this in turn promotes plant growth

  • Increase Soil Water Retention - As the castings improve soil structure and add organic matter to the soil, the water retention of your soil will improve.

Worm castings can be used for all plants, indoor and out. You can use them throughout the growing season, regardless of whether you’ve started your garden or not.
