Worm castings, also known as vermicast, are a type of organic fertilizer that are sourced from the manure of earthworms. They provide several benefits to plants, such as nutrients, soil aeration, moisture retention, pest resistance, and disease protection.
This type of vermicompost can be mixed in with the soil, “broadcast” or spread out on top of the planting area, or sprayed after being mixed into a “tea” mixture with water and molasses.
What sets Simple Grow Soil Builder apart is the quality of the castings. Worm type determines the quality of castings, and some worms like red wriggler worms are not ideal producers because of the kind of food they consume.
Simple Grow Soil harvests its castings from a variety of African nightcrawlers. These worms consume more nutritious organic matter found in the soil, making them a better source of high-quality castings.
Worm castings can simulate healthy plant growth owing to their microbial activity. They contain helpful enzymes and healthful bacteria from the digestive system of worms, which can promote the healthy growth of plants.
Earthworm castings offer many of the nutrients needed by plants to grow, including magnesium, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen, iron, and sulfur. These nutrients make worm castings an ideal supplement for barren soil.
Moreover, worm castings can help plants survive in areas with high temperatures by giving them more access to moisture. Castings are finer than the material that makes up soil, allowing more moisture to penetrate.
“Gardeners and home growers can now better prepare their plants for the damaging heat of summer,” a company spokesperson said. “Worm castings provide all kinds of plants the nutrients and moisture they need to survive the dry season.”
