Vermicompost

Vermicompost For Soil

Vermicompost is an excellent soil additive made up of digested and undigested compost. The digested part is known as worm castings. Worm castings are much higher in nutrients and microbial life and are a higher value product. Worm castings contain up to 5 times the plant available nutrients found in average potting soil mixes. The nutrients are readily available to your plant, with the added benefit of microbial organisms that are essential for plant growth. The average potting soil mixes that you buy in the store are usually sterile and don't have a microbial population. Just as your plants need to be fed nutrients, your soil (which has living organisms in it) needs to be fed also. The combination of nutrients and microbial organisms are essential for happy, healthy, productive plants.
