Worm castings are essentially worm manure. When worms eat through organic matter, they leave behind castings that are nutrient rich, containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Worm castings are also a natural source of humic acid and contain microbes, enzymes and healthy bacteria. Nitrogen and humic acid team up beautifully to stimulate plant growth and overall health. Worm Castings are considered to be an organic and 100% natural fertiliser.
