Vermicompost is loaded with microbial life and nutrients and valued for its benefits to soil biology. Vermicompost is the highest grade of humus available. It is rich in humic acids that help condition the soil and contains up to five times more nitrogen, seven times more phosphorus and eleven times more potassium than ordinary soil nutrients essential for healthy plant growth.

Healthy vermicompost added to the soil establishes a rich supply of soluble plant nutrients, growth compounds, a beneficial and diverse microbial population and organic matter. The plant is provided a consistent and reliable food source when bacteria and microscopic fungi feed on the organic matter, releasing some of the nutrients to the soil and storing others for their own energy and reproduction. When nematodes and protozoa in turn feed upon them the nutrients stored in the bacterial and fungal bodies are released to the soil in a plant available form.

The combination of nutrients and microorganisms are essential for healthy plants. It can be used as a soil enricher with potted plants, new plantings or a top dressing for your vegetables and lawn. It will naturally improve the physical and biological properties of your soil.
