Worm Castings
There is a huge
difference between Vermicompost and Pure Worm Castings.
Clarification is
needed for terminology used with the terms worm castings and vermicompost. The
term "vermicompost" is used much like "compost". Most people have no idea of
how it is going to perform until they use it. Vermicompost contains worm castings
and other organic matter that has been partially or fully composted. Who knows
how much pure worm castings are found in vermicompost? The amount of pure worm
castings will vary from batch to batch and from one vermicomposting facility
to another. Introducing a handful of redworms into a compost pile does not produce
a good quality of vermicompost.

The Best Pure Worm Castings in Today's
Market.
A quick and simple
way to check the quality of so-called pure worm castings:
- Pure worm castings
will look like black coffee grounds!
- Take two wide
mouth 20 oz. drink bottles and place 4 oz. of our pure worm castings in one
bottle and the same amount of another producer of worm castings or pure worm
castings.
- Fill both bottles
¾ full with tap water and shake well and let stand for 5 minutes.
Observations:
- Check for weed
seeds and other materials (compost) not consumed by the worms. This is typical
of vermicompost.
- Check for sand
will settle out first. It is common for manure based fertilizers to contain
a lot of fine sand or sand added for weight.
- Then pour off
the liquid and dump the sediment out and examine. It if feels and looks like
mud, then that is probably what it is. If it retains much of the original
characteristics then it is pure worm castings. Each pure worm cast is coated
with calcium and takes time to dissolve.
