Earthworm Castings Organic Fertilizer is an all purpose natural fertilizer that comes to you straight from nature with no alterations whatsoever. These night crawlers are fed a very right peat, which contains a wide variety of minerals and trace elements. The earthworms digest this material and in its' passage through the worm, it is beneficially altered both chemically and physically. The end product is "super humus" which is extremely fertile top soil properly conditioned for best root growth, containing in rich proportion and water soluble form, all the elements required of the earth for optimum plant nutrition.
* Black Gold Organic Earthworm Castings, contain rich proportions of water-soluble nutrients. This is a primary reason for being able to provide incredible results. Worm Castings allow plants to quickly and easily absorb all essential nutrients and trace elements in simple forms, so plants need only minimal effort to obtain them. This is not the case with most other fertilizers. Though they may have many nutrients and/or higher analyses, the ability of plants of optimally use them is limited because they are not broken down to the degree in which the earthworm is able to provide them
.*As well as an abundance of available nutrients, worm castings also provide a perfect mix of nutritional needs. This allows plants to feed as needed for weeks and months at time, depending on the plant.
*High Availability of Nutrients - Over 60 micro nutrients and trace minerals along with high numbers of beneficial microbes and bacteria.

Mother Nature's #1 choice for fertilizing.
- Environmentally safe for all plants, animals and humans.
- Naturally Odor Free - No perfumes or scents added or chemically removed. It can be used directly from the bag on indoor or outdoor plants.
- Less Watering Required - Because of the absorbent organic matter contained in the castings themselves, moisture is held in the root zone while allowing excess moisture to drain away.
- Improved Soil Structure and Aeration - Castings allow oxygen to permeate and remain in the root zone where it is vitally needed.
- This non-packed environment also improves drainage. Roots can easily grow fast, full and fibrous.

This all Natural Organic Fertilizer is excellent for:
- Potting mixes
- Delicate Houseplants
- Gardening
- Commercial vegetable production
- Shrubs and Trees
- Lawns and Turf Grass
- Landscaping
*Synthetic fertilizers usually provide only available synthetic nutrients(N-P-K), much of what are quickly lost into the soil with watering, as a plants' root system can only absorb so much. Chemical fertilizers are most often detrimental to soil microbiology, bypassing and often destroying much of its beneficial microbial and bacterial activity
|
*Another point in favor of earthworm castings is the high concentration of beneficial bacteria and microbes added to them by the earthworm in the digestive process. These microscopic creatures help different elements of the soil work in conjunction with each other to create healthy, working soil that provides the best possible atmosphere for optimum growth.
|
*Yet, another benefit is the ability to improve soil structure. These miniature football shaped particles improve aeration, which promotes rapid plant growth. It also allows for excellent drainage in soil so root don't become waterlogged or develop root rot, while also increasing the soil's water retention capacity as they contain absorbent organic matter that holds only the necessary amounts of water needed by the roots, while their shape allows unnecessary water to easily drain.
|
|
. *The simple fact is that Earthworm Castings were created by nature for the purpose of promoting optimum plant growth and everything is required to provide it, is found in them. When you concentrate this odorless, non-burning miracle of nature in greater concentrations than usually found in nature, the results are truly spectacular.

Earth Worm Castings are also an effective way to repel white flies, aphids and spider mites & any pest that feeds on plant juices. According to recent studies, applying earthworm castings to the soil around your plants increases the production of a certain enzyme that is offensive to these insects.
Earthworm castings are an organic, non-toxic fertilizer that can be used on just about any plant in the garden! They are a great source of calcium, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphates and potash.
One way to use worm castings is to top-dress the soil with a 1/2 inch to 1 inch layer. When you water, the nutrients filter down to the roots of your plants. For potted plants use about 1/3 castings to 2/3 potting soil. Side dressing row crops in your garden is one of the best ways to apply worm castings, especially with large fields. You can just place it right along side your crops.
How quickly the pests depart depends on the size of the plant. For instance, it may take as little as two weeks for an infestation to clear up on a houseplant or as long as two months to rid a large rose of pests.

Green Tip:
Mix worm castings with shredded coir or peat moss to transform sandy soil into rich fertile water retaining soil almost over night!
