House Plants & Potted Plants
Wormsworth™ Castings have over 10,000 separate biological organisms needed for healthy soil. These colonies are the engines which convert fertilizer so that plants can use it. Without these colonies, plants will not grow.
Research by Ohio State University has shown the optimum mix of earthworm castings to be 10%-20%. This ratio equals a 1/2"-1" layer.
New Plants in Pots
Mix 10% Wormsworth™ Castings with any potting soil, then add a 1/2" layer on top before planting.
Plants already in Pots
Scratch the top of soil. Add 1/2" -1" layer of Wormsworth™ Castings. Add a layer of compost on top. The layer of compost will hold moisture. Water through. If insufficient room is available, remove a portion of the soil before adding the layer. Be cautious about damaging the top layer feeder roots.
New Gardens or Flower Beds
Add a 1/2 " layer of Wormsworth™ Castings and work into the top of the soil. Then add another 1/2" layer around new plants or on top of the soil where new seeds have been planted. The Wormsworth™ Castings are needed where the plant roots will be located. Areas between the rows do not require Wormsworth™ Castings.
Existing Outdoor Plants
Rake the top of the soil. Add a 1" layer of Wormsworth™ Castings to the base of plants sufficient to cover the root pattern. Cover with a 1" layer of compost. Water through.
Sick Plants
In most cases sick plants will quickly show positive results. Wormsworth™ Castings provides the necessary means for plants to get the missing elements needed. Add a 1" layer of Wormsworth™ Castings to the soil of any sick plant for positive results. Cover with a 2" layer of compost. Water through.
