African Nightcrawler Worm Castings
PURE worm castings are a natural, soil amendment that comes to you straight from nature with no modifications.
According to Scientific Earthworm Farming*: "Earthworms castings are the best imaginable potting soil for greenhouses or houseplants, as well as gardening and farming."
Our African Nightcrawlers are fed rich compost, which contains a wide variety of minerals and trace elements. The earthworms digest this material and beneficially alter the material both chemically and physically. The end product is extremely fertile and properly conditioned for best root growth. It contains all elements required for optimum plant growth in water soluble form.
Earthworm castings are perfectly balanced in two forms:
- can be immediately absorbed by the plant as if it were directly injected
- provides nutrition which slowly feeds the plant for long periods of time, which is very cost effective because small amounts provide incredible results and last a long time.
Basically, earthworm castings are an excellent all natural plant food. For millions of years, the incredible earthworm has been one of nature's greatest producers of readily available plant food. When used in greater concentrations than found in nature, this non-burning, long-lasting soil amendment can provide remarkable benefits.
Why all the Excitement over Worm Castings? 
African Nightcrawler Worm Castings promote healthy “living” soil. Worm castings are a means to condition your soil in an organic and natural way to provide your plants with the nutrients they need, when they need them, for lush plant growth. Furthermore, worm castings
(1) enables the soil to retain nutrients longer and
(2) allows crops to more effective use the nutrients.
Worm castings can help improve soil aeration. Worm castings don't pack together, which allows roots to grow fast and fibrous to promote rapid plant growth. They also allow excellent drainage in soil.. While improving aeration, earthworm castings also increase the soil's water retention capacity because they contain absorbent organic matter that holds only the necessary amounts of water needed by the roots, while their miniature-football shape allows unnecessary water to easily drain.
Basically, earthworm castings are an excellent all natural plant food. For millions of years, the incredible earthworm has been one of nature's greatest producers of readily available plant food. When used in greater concentrations than found in nature, this non-burning, long-lasting soil amendment can provide remarkable benefits such as:
- Conditions Soil in an Organic and Natural Way
- Vigorous Plant Growth
- Fibrous Root System
- Improves Soil Structure and Aeration
- Improves Soil Water Management (drainage and retention)
- Helps Break Up Clay Soil
- Conditions Soil for Optimum Plant Growth
