Nature's Best and Original Organic Plant Food and Soil Conditioner.
As earthworms eat food scrapes, manure and other non-living substances, they excrete tiny pellets called castings. The casting are water-soluble plant food that is easily available to the plant when the plant needs it, both immediately and long-term.
Castings are rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium and potassium. They also balance the pH, help retain moisture, improve drainage and aerate the soil.
And there is more! The casting in your soil adds beneficial bacteria that inhibit pest and pathogens. Your soil is healthier so your plants are healthier.
Where can you use casting?
- your potted plants
- your flower garden
- your vegetable and herb garden
- your rose bushes, trees and lawn
- anywhere you want healthier plants
