How They're Made
Our castings are made by thousands of red wiggler
composting worms at our worm farm where they feast on food scraps
(mostly fuit and vegetable pulp) and other organics. Once the
worms, bacteria, and fungi have broken down the material, the worms naturally
migrate towards fresh food, and the castings left behind are screened
to 1/8 or 1/4 inch and ready to use.

How To Apply
Castings can be blended directly into garden
soil or potting mix or used to top-dress the soil around the base
of the stem before watering. Castings can also be used to make
aerated compost "tea" that can be directly applied to plants
and soil, ideal for greenhouses and nurseries; applied as a foliar
spray or injected through irrigation manifolds.

How They're Sold
The Worm Ladies have found that fresh castings make
a world of difference. We ensure our castings are fresh, are
never dried out, or are put in air-tight containers. We partner
with local nurseries and garden supply retailers to offer fresh castings
sold in 5 gal pails, 2lb bags, or from self-serve display
containers. We are also assisting retailers in setting up
in-store worm tea brewers so that worm tea can be sold fresh to
customers.
