Black Gold Vermicast

Vermicast is the material that the worms have consumed and then has passed through the worms unique digestive system converting vast quantities of nutritional organic matter into a 100% available plant food. It is 100% organic. When they expel their manure it dries into a granule. Worm cast helps retain moisture in the root zone and assists in drainage and aeration of the soil. It promotes longer, stronger and healthier root systems. It contains rich proportions of water soluble nutrients that act with the slow release properties of the worm cast to stop nutrients from leaching out of the root zone. Worm cast is safe to use anywhere is odourless and is a natural soil improver.

It is also safe to use around children and pets. You can use Black Gold as an organic soil amendment to improve soil structure or part of a potting mix.
Black Gold supports soil health by increasing the activity of natural occurring micro-organisms and beneficial enzymes in the soil. Worm cast will help control soil pathogens and nematodes by increasing soil health, repelling disease and insect attacks. Black Gold is full of the minerals, nutrients and organisms that plant’s require for growth. It is a perfect plant food.
