Worm castings allow plants to quickly and easily absorb essential nutrients and trace minerals. This is possible because Earthworms grind and uniformly mix the nutrients into simple forms, which are easily absorbed by the surrounding plant life.

Despite the fact that many chemical fertilizers list many nutrients and have higher laboratory analysis percentages, the nutrients are not broken down in such a way that the plants can readily use them.

Agrowinn Wormcast:

• is environmentally friendly and non-polluting
• is not quickly soluble and has good residual
• loosens compacted soil and enhances plant feeder root fertility
• does not burn plants or seedlings

In addition to the abundance of available nutrients, worm castings also provide a perfect mix of nutrients that are available to the plants and vegetables for long term nutritional needs. This allows plants to feed as needed for weeks and months at a time, as the worm castings release their precious nutrients into the surrounding soil.

Chemical fertilizers usually provide only synthetic nutrients, much of which are quickly lost into the soil during watering. Since the plant's root system can absorb only so much material over a given period of time, much of the value of this nutrient flow is wasted. Chemical fertilizers are also detrimental to soil microbiology, frequently bypassing and sometimes destroying much of the beneficial microbial and bacterial components of the soil. At the same time, many of these synthetic nutrients are absorbed indirectly into your plants and food.

The particular structure of Earthworm castings is such that it promotes soil aeration because it doesn't pack together when mixed in soil. As a result, you get a much more "open" soil, which in turn promotes rapid plant growth. In addition, Earthworm castings improve soil drainage, cutting down on water-logged soil which promotes root rot, And, since Earthworm castings contain absorbent organic matter (bio-humus), the soil's water retention capacity improves.

Earthworm castings provide natural Nitrogen, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, and numerous other trace minerals with this guaranteed analysis:
