Black worm castings are an organic fertilizer that delivers an excellent source of nutrients for your farm crops, home gardens, and lawns. Incorporating organic worm materials into the soil naturally increases the microbes, improves the health of the soil and increases plant productivity. The health of the soil is essential for healthy valuable plants.

The Dirt on Earthworm Anatomy, compliments of Mother Earth News
An earthworm is a sightless creature with a gizzard, an alimentary canal, and a body made of rings surrounded by bristles.
Earthworms don’t move by zigzagging like snakes. Rather, they compress and expand with their rings and bristles, moving straight through the soil.
Most people think ants are strong for their size, but earthworms are the ultimate hulks. Weighing only one-thirtieth of an ounce, they routinely move 2-ounce stones — equivalent to a 150-pound person moving a 9,000-pound boulder.
What I find most amazing about earthworms, and indeed what still baffles scientists, is that the castings that come out of the worms’ alimentary canals contain five times the nitrogen (N), seven times the phosphorus (P) and 11 times the potash (K) of the soil environment in which the worms live. It’s almost like alchemy because no net loss occurs.
This is not a case of taking a lot and excreting a little. This is recombining — what Howard called “conditioning” — vegetable matter and minerals into a perfect fertility capsule.
In addition, the worms’ alimentary canals detoxify the materials they ingest, offering a truly clean, pathogen-free casting out their back ends. Earthworm castings are the magic elixir coveted by good gardeners and farmers all over the world.
