Worm Castings
What are worm castings? Earthworm castings are just a fancy name for worm poo. Worm poo is a wonderful substance that can be used to fertilize all sorts of things from your lawn, and garden, to your flowers beds and potted plants.
Worm casting is highly sought after because they are a natural fertilizer. “Plant food” these days tend to be a synthesized mixture of chemicals or other man made products. Many times there are serious side effects when applied to your plants or lawns. So, the best option for your plants is to use something as natural as possible, the way that Mother Nature intended things to be. This is where your worms come into play.
Where to Get Organic Worm Castings
Worm compost can be purchased commercially. There are many companies that are willing to sell worm poop by the pound. In fact, from time to time there are links on this website for commercial sellers of worm castings. There are hundreds of commercial compost suppliers from the large multi-national corporations, to the one man business that grows worms in his kitchen.
