Time To Add Worm Castings!

It's that time again, planting season is approaching. Now is the time to add your first application of worm castings. There are different methods to applying worm castings.

1.Top dressing -around the stem of the plant.Should be a inch away from the stem, applying a inch to inch and a half depth, and approximating as wide as the roots have grown.

2. Side dressing - applying the castings on one particular side of the plant as a quick application.

3.Pre application- applying the castings to the hole, and mixing with the planting mixture for planting, or trans planting.

The difference in top dressing and side dressing is top dressing you are adding more castings for better absorption, compared to side dressing which you want to give your plants a little boast.

If you have great soil, and have already top dressed earlier in the season, side dressing is recommended to keep the plants nutrients available through growth stages.
