Vermitechnology is a popular organic alternative to the ill-effects of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, for both people and the environment. Our Organic fertilizer is a valuable addition for every soil type and plant situation, from farms, vegetable or flower gardens, to landscaping and lawns.Black worm casting help boosts soil through the introduction of micro-nutrients and beneficial soil organisms, increasing the uptake of nutrients by the plant and improving the health of the plants themselves.
Vermitechnology products provide your plants with a nutrient rich, robust environment, able to withstand climate hardships and less likely to be damaged by insects.
Contact Vermitechnology, we are proud to offer only the best products at affordable prices.
Good Earth provides the benefits of worm castings:
Pathogen-Free
The vermiculture process provides a pathogen-free end product without the necessity of high temperatures. The cool process allows the rich biology introduced by the earthworm digestive process to thrive. High temperatures are necessary in thermal composting to eliminate the human pathogens. High temperatures are not required to eliminate human pathogens in castings because digestion in the worm’s gut kills them.
Non-Toxic
Chemical fertilizers, fungicides, pesticides, and herbicides all require special handling to deal with the high level of toxicity. Worm castings are non-toxic and do not require any special care and handling. There is no fear of any danger to yourself, your pets, or your children.
Many chemical products, fertilizers, fungicides, pesticides, and herbicides, are toxic to worm castings. Some concentrations of chemical products can destroy the beneficial biology in the worm castings and eliminate their benefits.
Organic Use Approval
Understanding the vermiculture process makes it clear why worm castings are approved for use by all Organic Certification organizations.
N-P-K
Worm castings test low on a normal soils report. The nitrogen level of Wormgold® tests at less than 1 percent. Phosphorous tests around 1 percent. Potassium tests slightly higher than 1 percent. These levels appear to be low but all of these nutrients are in a form that is readily available for use by the plants.
Benefits of Worm Castings
Improved plant growth
Soil softening
Biological decomposition
Beneficial nematodes
Fungus control
Odor elimination
Insect repellency
Improved Plant Growth
Extensive university plant growth research has been performed by Ohio State, Cornell University, U.C. Davis, the Australia SIRO, and other agriculture organizations to test the benefits of worm castings. These tests have shown improved plant size, bloom quantity, quality, and color for flowers. Fruit and vegetable tests have shown significant yield increases as well as improvements in taste and appearance. Ohio State research showed that the optimum ratio of worm castings to native soil is 10-20 percent.
Soil Softening
Soils can become hardened with the reduction of beneficial soil biology. This limits fertility. Adding worm castings provides the biology needed to return the soil to a softened state. Within a few weeks, the hard soil is workable allowing ease of plant growth.
