Organic Worm Castings

Worm castings are an ideal way to promote healthy plant growth due to the nutrients that they provide. They are so beneficial that some gardeners refer to worm castings as “black gold.” These benefits include concentrated nitrates, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and calcium. Unlike animal manure and chemical fertilizers, all of these minerals go directly to the plant instead of having to be broken down first. They also improve soil quality as a soil amendment by increasing absorbency, releasing beneficial b@cteria and m1crobes and providing natural filtration of waste. Worm farm castings can also be used as food in hermit crab care as a supplemental feed source.BENEFITSProvides slow release fertilization to your plantsProvides nitrates, potassium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorusAll natural, no chemicals or additives; safe to use in organic gardeningHelps dirt to retain moistureProvides natural filtration of noxious substancesPopular for indoor use as they don’t introduce bugs, etc. like fresh compost or manureEncourages beneficial b@cteria and m1crobesTIP: Replenish nutrients and stimulate beneficial activity with extra castings once per month.INGREDIENTS: Organic earthworm castings

Our mix is hand-blended soil for planting and growing avocado trees. It is fast draining to encourage growth without root rot or mold. Avocado trees prefer their soil to drain completely and quickly between waterings. The ingredients each serve a purpose. Peat moss is great for water and nutrient retention in soil. It is also a good source of organic matter that will slowly degrade to feed your soil. Perlite is often used as a soil amendment for its water retention and drainage capabilities. It also provides air flow to roots to prevent root rot. Sand's purpose in gardening is providing extra drainage in soil. Lime is used to balance pH in soil. TIPS: Make sure your soil is not compacted and that your pot has good drainage. Water frequently with an occasional deep soak. Keep the plant moist but not overly saturated. As with most plants, make sure the soil drains well. Pinch the stem back every time your plant grows another six inches or so, in order to encourage a bushier appearance. If you live in a warm enough climate, plant your tree outside once it is big enough. After several years, it may actually bear fruit. INGREDIENTS: Peat moss, perlite, sand, and lime

Olive Tree Potting Soil Mix
