Why I Like Worm castings?

Posted by Juanita Fraser Posted on: 10/30/08

Why I Like Worm castings?

Why did I start Vermicomposting?

In 2002, my family and I moved from a city life to a town life, from a zone 3 to zone 5.

As in tempature wise. We were not interested in gardening, or anything associated with it.

After watching my Father in law being a gardener addict, I became curious. My Father in law started to give me gardening books along with his delicious vegetables and fruits. Well that sold me. Great climate,

good food, and good potential soil to work with. Our soil has sand and clay all it needs is humus.

I researched on fertilizers chemical and natural and came to the conclusion natural would be my choice.

I have noticed over the years as well as others, our vegetables don’t have the flavour they use to have.

Sure they look good but no taste. I have used fish fertilizer, Seaweed extract, and compost. These work well

But I wanted the best source of nutrients, and vitamins. So I studied on Worm pooh or Worm castings. To my surprise Worm castings has more in value all the way around. I started with one large bin and now I have several. Vermicomposting is a great way to recycle and the worm castings smell like earth, not foul.

Seeing is believing and if you check out our herb garden you could see why we like Worm castings.
