Organic black worm castings improves moisture retention, contributes key nutrients and minerals into the soil, which significantly help plants and crops in drought conditions.
Plants need more than just sunlight and water. In order to grow, they require a variety of different nutrients. Black worm castings are the highest grade of organic fertilizer available, according to the University of Minnesota Extension.
When used to amend soil, black worm castings improves soil structure, enabling valuable moisture ready for plants to access, for an extended period of time. Each worm castings is encapsulated by humid acid.
“Castings contain: 5 times the available nitrogen, 7 times the available potash and 1 1/2 times more calcium than that found in 15 cm of good top soil. Therefore, castings are supplied with available nutrients. The nutrients are also water soluble and immediately available to plant life. You will find that most potting soils have nutrient life of 2-5 days, where worm castings will last up to 6 times as long as other types of potting soils. You will need 5 times as much potting soil to do the same job as the worm castings. So, in the long run, worm castings are much cheaper and do a much better job. Also, castings hold 2-3 times their weight in water. That means you water less and the pot will stay damper for a longer period. ” Positive Organic Living, Kids for Landcare: Wormwatch, Education Department.
Microorganisms have been depleted from most of our soil through the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. Our soil is a breathing, living and digesting organism whose health depends on the population of microorganism.
Worm casting is a product that is very rich plant food and high in microbial content, as well as amoebas, nematodes, protists, adding another tier of life. Organic matter is digested by earthworms, as it passes through their digestive system they excrete castings, a nutrient rich product, along with chemicals that provide sustainable nutrition by breaking down organic matter. The castings and chemicals can be incorporated into soil, applied as a mulch, or made into a liquid tea fertilizer improving structure, soil and aeration
