Features:

• Robust construction
• Smooth grip
• Curved edges

The benefits of Vermicomposting with worms:

• In addition to increased nutrient levels, worm castings contain millions of microbes which help break down nutrients already present in the soil into plant available forms
• As the worms deposit their castings, their mucous is a beneficial component absent from compost produced by hot or cold composting
• The mucous component slows the release of nutrients preventing them from washing away with the first watering
• Worm compost is usually too rich for use alone as a seed starter
• It is useful as a top dressing and as an addition to potting mixes at a rate of one part castings to 4 parts mix

Uses of Vermicompost:

• Vermicompost is generally recommended as an additive to soil, or other matrices such as cocopeat, as a tilth improver, supplying humus and nutrients
• It provides a rich growing medium, or a porous, absorbent material that holds moisture and soluble minerals, providing the support and nutrients in which plants can flourish, although it is rarely used alone, being primarily mixed with soil, sand, grit, bark chips, vermiculite, perlite, or clay granules to produce loam
• In the case of large areas like gardens and vegetable beds, Compost can be tilled directly into the soil
• or mixed in the planting pots using digging forks and trowels to boost the level of organic matter and the overall
• fertility of the soil
• Compost that is ready to be used as an additive is dark brown or even black with an earthy smell
• Generally, direct seeding into compost is not recommended due to the speed with which it may dry and the possible presence of phytotoxins that may inhibit germination, and the possible tie up of nitrogen by incompletely decomposed lignin
• It is very common to see blends of 20–30% compost used for transplanting seedlings at
• cotyledon stage or later Composting can destroy pathogens or unwanted seeds
• Unwanted living plants (or weeds) can be discouraged by covering with mulch/compost
• The "microbial pesticides" in compost may include thermophiles and mesophiles; however certain composting detritivores such as black soldier fly larvae and redworms, also reduce many pathogens
• Thermophilic (high-temperature) composting is well known to destroy many seeds and nearly all types of pathogens (exceptions may include prions)
• The sanitizing qualities of (thermophilic) composting are desirable where there is a high likelihood of pathogens, such as with manure

Vermi-Compost tea:

• Compost tea is a liquid extract or a dissolved solution but not simply a suspension of compost
• It is made by steeping compost in water for 3–7 days
• It was discovered in Germany and became a practice to suppress foliar fungal diseases by nature of the bacterial competition, suppression, antibiosis on the leaf surface
• It has also been used as a fertilizer although lab tests show it is very weak in nutrients with less than 100ppm of available nitrogen and potassium
• Other salts present in the tea solution are sodium, chlorides and sulfates

Specifications:

• Available in 2 kg and 25kg bags
