Worm Castings & Potting Soil
a nutrient rich miracle of nature
Our African night crawlers and Red Wiggler worms spend all stages of their lives within our containers, scattering castings (poop) around our soil. This makes our dirt plum full of nutrients that will help your plants grow larger AND healthier!
​
Vermicomposting, or worm composting, turns kitchen scraps and other green waste into a rich, dark, magical soil. It is the product of the decomposition process using various species of worms, usually red wigglers, white worms, and other earthworms, to create a mixture of decomposing vegetable or food waste, bedding materials, and Verm castings or “worm poop.” It’s a sort of super compost. Not only is it rich in nutrients but it’s also loaded with the microorganisms that create and maintain healthy soil. Vermicompost contains most nutrients in plant-available forms such as nitrates, phosphates, soluble potassium, magnesium, & calcium.
