WORM CASTINGS (vermicompost) 1 quart with empty worm tea bag

Barlow Worm composting uses composted cow manure as the base and food source for the Eisenia Fetida earthworm, commonly known as the red wiggler. The manure is hot composted to a temp above 140 degrees F to kill potential pathogens and weed seeds before feeding to our worms. The worms' digestive enzymes unlock many of the chemical bonds of the nutrients within the manure. The result is increased nutrients in the most basic form which can more readily be absorbed and utilized by plants. Our worm castings provide a rich organic fertilizer full of microbial life. Thousands of beneficial microorganisms that include bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and nematodes live in the worm castings. These microorganisms are the building block of healthy soil and vegitation.
