Organic worm castings have earned their reputation of ‘Black Gold’ for a reason. Whether you are a home gardener or a crop farmer. Worm castings bring the soil to life because it helps complete the soil food web. Plants need nematodes, bacteria, protozoa, and fungi, to break down nutrients so they are available for the plant to absorb. Organic black worm castings stimulating plant growth, allow for better water retention, higher quality, yield, able to resist disease and fight off insects.
How Does It Work?
Organic material is transformed into super humus fertilizer by the bacteria in the alimentary canal of the worm. It all starts when the worms are fed a diet rich in organic material, containing a wide variety of trace elements and minerals. When the material is digested by the worm it is beneficially altered, both physically and chemically.
Whether it’s a backyard garden or farmland, chemical fertilizer and pesticides have depleted our soil, while polluting our waterways. By retaining moisture in the soil, worm casting can reduce irrigation costs by up to 50%. For drought stricken or water restriction areas where water is in a deficient, such as California, Vermitechnology crucial.
It also reduces the need of chemical pesticides as the crops become more resistant to diseases and pests. The water soluble supportive elements in worm castings are available to plants immediately. Castings are usually seven times higher in phosphates, five times higher in available nitrogen, and up to 5 times more organic matter.
Unfortunately, research has found many soil amendments from big box stores have a high content of ground wood matter. As it decomposes it takes up nitrogen and adds very little value to the soil. Many gardeners have complained of having a poor yield and unhealthy plants after using these products.
I’m definitely not an expert, but I like to garden, said Kay, a customer of Vermitechnolgy. “Since using organic black castings I have seen my plants get fuller, healthier, and my vegetables, tomatoes, squash, beans, and strawberries, are bigger and taste amazing! My herbs are also healthier and the best I have ever grown.”
