Most gardeners and farmers around the world know the value of organic black earthworm castings. These amazing creatures play an important part in making the food we eat healthy and nutritious.
“It is a marvelous reflection that the whole expanse has passed, and will again pass, every few years, through the bodies of worms. The plough is one of the most ancient and most valuable of man’s inventions; but long before he existed the land was in fact regularly ploughed, and still continues to be thus ploughed, by earthworms. It may be doubted whether there are many other animals which have played so important a part in the history of the world, as have these lowly organized creatures.” -Darwin (1881)
The Benefits of Organic Earth Worms and their Castings in the Garden are Numerous.
Worm Castings contain high concentrations of mycorrhizae and humid acid, important components for plant growth and the health of the soil.
As a beneficial soil fungus, mycorrhizae hava a symbiotic relationship with the root system, by increasing the water intake and absorption of nutrients. While Humic acid increase nutrient availability and microbial activity, encourages plants to develop strong roots, and promotes growth regulators and activity of enzymes.
“Chemical fertilizers often contain salt and other compounds that are harmful and/or deadly to worms. If you have enough worms and other organic fertilizers in your soil, there is no need for synthetic fertilizers. Earthworm castings (worm excrement) can contain as much as 10 times the amount of plant-available nutrients as the original soil. This nutrient-rich natural fertilizer is teeming with microorganisms that live in the worm’s gut.” Gentle World.
The addition of worms themselves in your garden are also numerous. As they move and tunnel through the soil, they loosen and aerate the soil. Encouraging root growth and good drainage.
Worms excrete slime which clump soil particles together. These soil aggregates are vital for storing water, nutrients, air organic matter and microbes.
