Vermicompost Vermicast Northern Illinois Worm Farm 5lb

Vermicomposting produces Vermicast, a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer that is produced by earthworms breaking down organic matter. It is a high quality soil ammendment in gardening and agriculture. Vermicast contains beneficial microbes, enzymes, hormones, and other compounds that promote plant growth and support soil health. Vermicast will improve soil structure, aeration, and water retention. It is teeming with beneficial bacteria, fungi, and microorganisms that contribute to a healthy soil ecosystem. Vermicast can be mixed in as a soil ammendment or used as a top dressing. It is a powerful fertilizer and only needs to be used in moderation or in small amounts. Keep your vermicast in a cool dry place. This prevents drying out or contamination. Vermicast should be stored in a breathable container to preserve the living organisms.
