Advantages of Worm Castings

Below is a list of just a few of the benefits of using worm castings in a garden. These benefits are real and not just sales propaganda.

• The analysis of worm castings reveals that they are many times richer in major plant nutrients than even the most fertile soil.
• The rich castings are water soluble and slowly release their nutrients to the plants, making them immediate plant food.
• Worm castings are usually P.H. neutral, making them safe for all plants and they will not burn the most delicate of plants.
• Worm castings make the finest natural organic potting compost for multi-purpose use:- Sowing seeds, potting on, and for use as a medium for boosting the fertility of exhausted potting soils.
• Worm castings can be sprinkled on the surface of the soil in seed drills and around plants that need a booster then watered in.
• Fruit and vegetables not only grow faster, but are also better tasting and healthier than chemical plants, which can be very bitter due to the salts that are present in most chemical fertilisers.
• Because worm castings are produced from 100% recycled wastes, you are also contributing to a cleaner, less polluted environment.
• Fertilizing newly planted trees and shrubs with worm casts promotes sound growth without forcing, eliminating soft growth, which can easily burn in a severe winter killing a young tree.
• Because of the better growth of plants fertilised with worm castings they are less likely to succumb to pests and diseases.
• Worm castings are never sterilised as in their natural state they  contain millions of aerobic bacteria and enzymes, which are essential ingredients of a healthy vibrant soil.
• You should notice a significant improvement in the colours of flowers due to the high potash content of worm castings.
• The high phosphates and potash content of worm castings make it the perfect product for use as a top dressing for promoting lush hardwearing turf.
