Vermiculture

E-mail Print PDF

 

Vermiculture or worm farming is the breeding of worms for their composting ability, using the worm casts for fertilizer or the worms as fishing bait.

Vermicompost (also called worm compost, vermicast, worm castings, worm humus or worm manure) is the end-product of the breakdown of organic matter by some species of earthworm.

Worm Castings are a complete organic fertilizer that is produced naturally by earthworms. Castings are Mother Nature's purest form of a sustained release plant food. Safe for humans and pets!

RabWay Castings are great for replacing chemical fertilizers. Castings can be used on all indoor and outdoor plants, trees and shrubs. Especially good for plant food, seed propagation, and soil amendment. A rich, odorless, all natural organic product that is very cost effective because just a little achieves big results.


Rabbit Manure
Four times more nutrient-potent than horse or cow manure and twice as rich as poultry manure, rabbit manure is a more perfectly formed soil conditioner than any I have ever known.

This stuff is remarkable. It comes nicely packaged in a convenient, round, dry, pelleted form. As a fertilizer, fresh rabbit manure is approximately 2% nitrogen, 1% phosphorus and 1% potassium. Use it fresh, directly from under the hutch. It won't burn plants. Use the small marbles to top-dress your lawn, or mulch roses, vegetables or flower beds. Or supercharge your compost pile and create an earthworm population explosion.
