WORMIES will feed your plant's roots and give energy to the plant. It is an active biological mixture of bacteria, enzymes and is rich in water-soluble plant nutrients. Vermicompost is pH neutral and contains minerals that are essential for plant growth, such as concentrated nitrates, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and calcium. All in a form immediately available to the plant, without the risk of burning. Along with rebuilding your soil biology by using WORMIES, you will also be saving water, energy and diverting waste from landfills; it's nature's way of recycling. WORMIES are completely safe to all plants, animals, humans and the environment in any concentration. An excellent addition to any soil type for any plant situation; potted plants, flower or vegetable gardens, lawns or landscaping.
