What Are Worm Castings - How To Make Worm Castings | Gardening ...
Worm castings are the excrement of earthworms, a natural, nutrient-rich material that acts as a soil conditioner and fertilizer. They are beneficial for gardens because they improve soil structure, fertility, and aeration, and can promote stronger plant growth, better moisture retention, and increased resistance to pests and disease. They can be mixed into soil or used as a top dressing to benefit plants.
Benefits for plants and soil
Nutrient-rich: Castings contain essential macro and micronutrients, minerals, and trace elements in a form that is easily usable by plants.
Improved soil structure: They enhance soil aeration and water retention.
Boosts plant growth: They can lead to faster root growth, stronger foliage, and increased germination.
Enhances microbial activity: Worm castings have a diverse microbial population that helps create humus, which stores plant nutrients for a long-term boost.
Increases disease resistance: The beneficial microbes in the castings can help protect plants from diseases and pests.
How to use worm castings
Mix into soil: Blend castings with your existing soil or seed-starting mix to enrich it.
Top dressing: Sprinkle a layer of castings on top of the soil around established plants and water them in.
"Worm tea": Brew castings in water to create a liquid fertilizer for your plants.
