What are worm castings?
Worm castings are essentially worm manure, which is the final product from the breakdown of organic matter by worms. This is performed naturally by compost worms, and it can’t be matched by any known man-made process. It is scientifically proven that worm castings provide a higher saturation of nutrients in a plant available form.
How can worm castings be used?
Worm castings can be used as your soil, or as a fertiliser, to provide plants with the nutrients and probiotics they need to grow. You can mix Verasoil into your potting mix to make sure your plants get the microbes and soil probiotics they need to grow and revitalise your plants. Since this product is made naturally by compost worms, it is safe to use both indoors and outdoors.
