Worm castings contain organic matter (decomposed plant material), as well as worm cocoons (while damp). Worm castings have excellent water-holding capacity. Castings can contain more humus than is typically found in topsoil.
Worm castings are the excrement of earthworms which have been fed organic matter and in turn produce this valuable soil amendment, which doubles as both a soil conditioner and a food source for native soil microbiology. That moisture is a perfect environment for beneficial soil bacteria that break down the minerals in MEGAMEND and make mineral rich water available for plant uptake. In addition to the mineral complex found in MEGAMEND, its porous nature makes it a little storehouse for water. MEGAMEND is also a source of titanium (Ti) which research continues to show is a beneficial plant nutrient. MEGAMEND provides the well-known micro-nutrient iron (Fe) and the lesser known micro-nutrient silicon (Si). Well-balanced soils with the correct amounts of essential plant nutrients complemented by plenty of available trace elements promote diverse soil biology, utilize nutrients more efficiently, require less water, and support good overall plant health and vigor. MEGAMEND replenishes the soil profile with secondary and trace minerals that help broaden the spectrum of soil organic activity. MEGAMEND is a source of many trace elements needed for optimum plant growth and vigor.
Conventional fertilizer programs focus primarily on the macro-nutrients Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium (N-P-K). MEGAMEND provides the soil with trace minerals many of which are not available from traditional fertilizers.
