Know before you buy
You can mix them directly into your potting medium at a ratio of 10% to 20% by volume. Alternatively, apply a thin layer to the surface of the soil as a top dressing and gently scratch it in before watering.
Yes, they are excellent for brewing. Use a ratio of 2 cups of worm castings per 5 gallons of non-chlorinated water to create a nutrient-rich liquid fertilizer.
No, Royal Gold Worm Castings are organic and gentle. Because they provide a slow-release source of nutrients, they are safe to use even on delicate seedlings without the risk of fertilizer burn.
For vegetable patches, we recommend mixing about 1 to 2 inches of castings into the top 6 inches of soil before planting. This helps improve soil structure and microbial activity for the entire growing season.
No, high-quality worm castings typically have a mild, earthy scent similar to damp forest soil. They do not have the pungent smell often associated with traditional manure-based composts.
Absolutely. The fine texture makes it easy to incorporate into indoor potting mixes, and it provides essential microbial life that is often missing from sterile, store-bought indoor soils.
