Pure earthworm castings with added fossilized kelp & volcanic rock.  Worm castings, not unlike animal manure, provide rich nutrients and healthy bacteria for plants and vegetation and can be the secret superfood to help your indoor plants thrive! 

Nutrient-Rich Plant Food: Worm castings contain a mixture of bacteria, enzymes, remnants of plant matter, and broken down animal manure (and other existing compost). These castings are chock-full of plant nutrients and have over 50% more humus (broken down leaves and plant matter) than regular topsoil. Castings also contain plant-essential minerals like nitrates, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, and potassium. They also contain manganese, copper, cobalt, borax, zinc, iron, nitrogen, and carbon. 

Best of all, castings won’t burn plants due to too much nitrogen like other chemical fertilizers or animal manure. Worm castings do contain about 5% more nitrogen than regular garden soil, but it’s in a slow-release form. The castings are covered by mucus that the worm secretes as they digest which causes the nitrogen to release slowly. (I know, I know, gross but cool.) 

Enhanced Water Retention: The texture of worm castings mixed with soil helps the indoor plant hold moisture. Castings form mineral clusters that withstand water erosion and compaction while increasing water retention. Because of this, using worm castings for indoor plants can reduce the amount of time you need to water it, which also lowers your risk of root rot. 

Natural Pest Resistance: Since we all hate those pesky chewing insects like aphids, whiteflies, and other hard-shelled plant bugs, you’ll be happy to know that worm castings are also a natural insecticide. They have a digestive enzyme called chitinase which kills these pests by dissolving their exoskeletons (…yep).

Non-Toxic, Non-Hazardous, Will NOT Burn Plants - 100% Organic & Safe For All Types of Plant. 

Use: add 1/2" to 1" layer to top of soil or mix into soil, or you can sprinkle a few tablespoons at the base of the stems and water thoroughly.
