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
1/4" screened vermicast
@ $3 per pound is available anytime at our store Tues-Sunday,
9 am - 5 pm.
Fresh brewed VERMICAST TEA is available on Saturdays
for $5/gallon.
