Vermicast
is "Gardener's Gold"
In partnership with the hens of Peterson's
Upland Farm in Wahiawa, our worms produce high-quality castings
(also called vermicompost or vermicast), rich in both soluable nutrients
and microbial life. Feedstock from chicken manure assures a consistent
product and clean, uniform texture.
Vermicast is a proven plant growth enhancer and has been shown to
suppress certain diseases and pests. The UH College of Tropical
Agriculture has analyzed our cast and reports that it contains a
full range of key and trace elements, with especially high levels
of nitrate the form of nitrogen most readily absorbed by
plants.
Use vermicast as close to roots as possible. It is excellent for
starts and can be used up to 100% for germination. For leafy plants,
mix 5%-20% with potting or topsoil; for fruits and flowers, 20%-30%.
Vermicast
will:
improve soil structure, aeration,
and water retention
contribute to soil fertility
promote healthy root development
increase organic content of the soil
increase garden yield
produce better-tasting fruits and vegetables
produce healthier, more disease and pest resistant plants
1/8" screened vermicast $5 per pound, 5 pound
minimum order ($25 + tax)
1/4" screened vermicast $2 per pound, 20 pound
minimum order ($40 + tax)
