Wormcast is fertiliser as nature intended. Worms create and stimulate micro-organisms and enzymes aiding crop heath and growth, so this 100% organic fertiliser made from worm castings will enrich the soil and also improve its moisture retention.
What is Wormcast? WORMCAST is fertiliser as nature intended, it is made from earthworm casts, the tiny droppings left by earthworms as they munch their way through nutritious organic materials. The buzz about Wormcast is growing with increasing interest in the media including BBc Radio 4's Gardeners Question Time and the product gaining considerable consumer attention as it offers an organic solution to many garden issues.
Key benefit of using WORMCAST include: • Increases the activity of naturally occuring micro-organisms, beneficial enzymes and natural plant growth regulators which will enhance soil structure, improve plant health and promote balanced growth. • WORMCAST is rich in nitrogen, phosphate, potash, magnesium and calcium as well as beneficial enzymes and other trace elements, making it an excellent soil conditioner and growth enhancer. • Being 100% organic, WORMCAST is kinder to plants than synthetic fertilisers and is slow release. • Helps moisture retention in soil, reducing the need for watering which can be especially important during dry summers or in areas of sandy, or generally poor soil. • Suitable for use both outdoors and indoors for flowers, shrubs, fruit, vegetables and salad crops, trees, hedge planting, lawns and houseplants.
Chris Beardshaw The Flying Gardener - TV gardener, designer, lecturer and author. says "Wormcast is just what every plant in your garden has been waiting for!" Chris goes on to say: "For generations the world's best gardeners have understood that the key to growing beautiful blooms and bountiful crops lies in the nurturing of the very soil in which plants grow, and now Wormcast offers all gardeners the opportunity to unlock the fertility of their soils."
