Main Components 

• Mature vermicompost. 

• Natural nutrient amendments such as rock phosphate or oil cakes.

 • Possible beneficial microbial inoculants. 

• Fine organic matter and worm-worked humus.

 Benefits

• Supports steady vegetative growth. 

• Improves potting media texture and nutrient retention. 

• Encourages active root zones in containers. 

• May reduce need for frequent synthetic feeding in small gardens. 

Growing and Application Requirements 

• Use only if it is mature, cool, and earthy-smelling. 

• Blend rather than use alone in pots. 

 • Keep product shaded because microbes and organic matter degrade under harsh storage. 

• Avoid applying too much around seedlings. 

Usage Instructions 

• Mix 10-20 percent into potting mix for most plants. 

• Use a handful or two as top dressing for medium pots, depending on pot size. 

• For beds, spread a thin layer and lightly incorporate into the upper soil. 

• Water gently after application.
