Earthworm Castings

Earthly Matters is a family owned company located in Southern Alberta. They have been in the vermiculture business since 2008.

In addition to supporting a local family business, we are also thrilled to offer their product because their castings come from worms that are 100% fed on organic grain.

Earthworm castings, or worm manure, are an excellent, all natural, plant food and soil mender. They are full of nutrients that your plants can easily absorb, as worms break down the materials that they eat. The worms are raised on a large scale with great care so that they produce a consistent nutrient-packed casting every time. The nutrients that the castings contain are released slowly and work at building up the soil they are added to. In our experience, worm castings are like rocket fuel for plants, promoting plant and root growth and health.

Unlike other types of manures or fertilizers, worm castings:

Contain no chemicals and are safe to use even without gloves;
Are safe for pets and children;
Have a slow release of essential nutrients, so there is no danger of root burning;
Contain trace elements;
Can be used on all plants instead of being plant-specific;
Have long term effects on the health of your soil;
Help with soil moisture retention and aeration;
Are odorless;
Are safe to use on all indoor and outdoor plants.

Directions:

Vegetable and Annual Flowers: Line bottom and sides of plant holes and seed furrows with 1" and 2" of earthworm castings. Set seeds or plants in place and cover with soil. Side dress during growing season with a rate of 1/2 cup per plant or 1 cup per linear foot of row once every two months.
Perennials: Work 1/2 cup into the soil above their root zone taking care not to damage shallow roots. Apply in spring, early summer and early fall.
Potting Mix for Seedlings and Transplants: Use 1 part earthworm castings to 3 parts soil.
Potted plants, window boxes, or hanging baskets: Add 1-2 inches of earthworm castings to 3 parts soil. Surround newly dug hole with mixture. Spread roots over a mound of the mix in the hole and cover.
Roses - Established: Mix 4 cups of earthworm castings into soil 2-3 inches below the surface for each plant.
New Lawns: Apply 5kg per 100 sq. feet. Work lightly into the topsoil. Mix in grass seed and water well.
Established Lawns : Distribute as top dress.
Casting Tea: Soak 1 part castings in 3 parts water for 12 - 24 hours. Stir well and water as usual. Casting tea is excellent for fruiting, flowering or difficult to access potted plants.
Compost Piles: Spread a thin layer of earthworm castings between each new layer of material to be composted.
