Worm Cast (3)

You are welcome to visit the worm farm to find out more. Worm casts are known by discerning gardeners as 'black gold'. They are a completely organic soil conditioner produced by worms as food passes through their gullet. Worm casts are stuffed full of nutrients in a form that is readily available to plants and they are teeming with beneficial bacteria

Advantages of using our worm casts as a fertiliser:

optimum levels of trace elements, enzymes and minerals
5 times richer in available nitrogen, 7 times more phosphates and 11 times more potash than the upper 6 inches of topsoil
bacteria in the worms digestive tract synthesise a whole series of biologically active substances including plant growth regulators and hormones which stimulate plant growth and development
improves germination and fertility and increases yield
reduce the need for watering because they are so fine they improve the aeration and water holding capacity of the soil
delicate plant roots find them easy to penetrate as they search for food and water
teeming with good bacteria that confer plants with a natural resistance to many pests and diseases
