Today’s gardeners and commercial farmers, both want fertile land and increased crops. Vermitechnology has the highest quality soil amendments for successful crops and home gardens. Research has found worm compost can regulate nutrients and suppress plant disease.
Though we are just realizing the connection between earth worms and their numerous benefits on our ecosystem, it is very rich in history
“The plough is one of the most ancient and most valuable of Man’s inventions; but long before he existed, the land was …regularly ploughed and still continues to be ploughed by earthworms. It may be (doubtful) whether there are many other animals which have played so important a part in the history of the world as these lowly organized creatures.”
– Charles Darwin, 1881
“Earthworm casts are the highest grade of organic fertilizer available. Nutrients from the earthworm’s body are transferred to the soil as it is processed. According to a study by the USDA in 1949, the great fertility of the Nile River Valley was due in large part to the activity of earthworms. After analyzing the soil, researchers found the casting of earthworms from a six month period to weigh almost 120 tons per acre – about ten times the amount of castings on American and European soils. So revered was the earthworm by the Egyptians that Cleopatra declared the earthworm to be a sacred animal and protected (Minnich, pp. 65-66).” University of Minnesota Extension.
Today’s newest research proves worms are the worlds unsung heroes. Research shows vermicompost improves seed germination, stimulates plant growth, increases productivity, while preventing diseases and ability to retain water and repel pests.
Vermitechnology is a popular organic alternative to the ill-effects of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, for both people and the environment. 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.
