Spring is in full swing - the birds are singing, the flowers are blooming and the sun is warm. These signs of the new season mean it’s time to plant the garden, fertilize the lawn, feed your indoor plants and get those beautiful flower baskets hung. For those of you new to worm castings (aka worm poop), here are 10 reasons why you should switch from your old fertilizer to Mountain Gate Organics Earthworm Castings.
Non-toxic, Non-burning, and Odor Free
Earthworm castings are richly digested soil left behind by worms that are non-toxic, non-burning, and free from the manure smell.
Decomposing Microbes
The beneficial microbes within worm castings (as many as 10,000) speed up the rate of decomposition, while unlocking nutrients to aid in a richer compost.
Beneficial Humic Acid
They contain humic acid which aids in plant nutrient absorption, stimulates plant growth, and increases the development of micro flora.
Disease Fighting Humus
The humus in worm castings fight off disease (such as root rot) by absorbing toxins, destroying bacteria and bad fungi, and producing beneficial fungi,
Natural Insect Repellent
Microorganisms in worm castings act as a natural insect repellent on a large number of insects.
Vital Nutrients
Vital nutrients are found in castings that plants and lawns need to thrive, such as, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, nitrates, potassium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, and nitrogen - all in a natural form readily available to plants.
Healthy Soil
Castings build healthy soil, amend damaged soil, and prevent extreme Ph levels.
Larger Crop
Seeds planted in soil rich with worm castings have been shown to germinate and sprout faster and yield a larger crop.
More Absorbent Soil
Using castings make the soil more absorbent, making moisture more available to plants and prevent the soil from completely drying out.
Beneficial to the Environment
Because worm castings contain no harmful chemicals and 100% non-toxic, they do not contribute to the soil damage or water contamination that synthetic fertilizers cause.
