WHY USE ORGANIC WORM CASTINGS? 

There are many reasons to use this natural and OMRI-certified product in your home landscape and garden beds. Below are just a few reasons why worm castings are part of the Texas Earth program!

 

Top 4 reasons – we say “O-MAN !”:

• “O” – Organic Matter content. Soil must have an organic matter

  content of 3% to sustain plant life. Our castings contain 18% -

  25% organic matter! Mix it in & watch it work.

• “M” – Microbial activity. Helpful microbes move in to convert

  organic matter into nutrients that the plant roots need.

• “A” – Aggregation of the soil. Castings and microbes promote a binding of soil particles called Aggregation – which helps the soil

  to retain more water and prevent runoff.

• “N” – Nitrates. Microbes also convert available Nitrogen into a

  chemical that plants thrive on – Nitrates

 

Other side benefits of castings:

• Though results vary from family to family, castings have been proven to increase yield by 30-40% in some cases

• The natural chemicals found in worm excretion promote resistance to many plant diseases & provide seed inoculation.

• These same chemicals provide natural resistance against pests like mites, aphids and mealy bugs.

• When used in their natural form, castings slowly release all these great natural bio-benefits over a 6-8 week period.
