Increase Effectiveness of Your Garden Compost

Making Compost "Super-Compost"

Adding home compost to your garden soil is a great way to improve your soil's tilth, water retention, aeration, as well as it's nutritional content.  (The link above, from Penn State edu. explains the importance of this)  If you have access to compost, either vermicompost,  a regular compost pile,  or compost manure, that's good news for your garden.

Your compost, however, is only as rich as the ingredients you put into it.  That's why vermicomposting is such a good idea:  the worm castings left by the worms are nutrient rich.  The compost and castings nourish your plants and improve the composition of your growing medium.

You can vastly increase your compost's quality by adding some Pure Worm Castings™ to it.  This is an economical way to fertilize your plants and you're making sure the compost is potent enough to provide your plants with all they'll need.

 




Liquid Fertilizer/Microbial Soil Inoculant Is What Really Does The Trick......

Adding VermaPlex™ to your compost pile, as you plant, and at the recommended intervals, is the coup de grace.  Inoculating  with the vast array microbes contained in VermaPlex™ will accelerate your compost pile's decomposition, and increase the potency of your compost and castings, making additional fertilizers unnecessary.






For information on why VermaPlex™ is so important as a soil amendment, how it works, and how to use it, check out the use /application guide of this all-natural, organic soil amendment and liquid plant fertilizer.

Application amounts of Pure Black Castings when adding to existing garden compost:

  • Without VermaPlex:  20# Pure Black Castings™ per 80# compost
  • With VermaPlex (mixed 1:20 with water): 10# Pure Black Castings™ per 90# compost
As you can see, adding VermaPlex™ makes economical sense because it reduces the amount of Pure Black Castings™ needed to get the same results.

    I compost, and I've been wanting to build a worm box to get castings for my compost bins. I wouldn't have thought to buy products to achieve a similar result. It's true though, as with anything, garbage in, garbage out, and I imagine compost is no exception! Thanks!
