How Do I Use Wormganix Worm Castings

Always mix Wormganix with your soil or compost because you are using the worm castings as a fertiliser or a soil conditioner. Using the 10% rule is a great idea with Wormganix (1-handful of Wormganix to 9-handfuls of soil or compost).

The following points give you some idea as a starting point for using Wormganix Worm Castings in a variety of common gardening circumstances.

House Plants / Cacti / Hanging Baskets

Use Wormganix to top dress your pots. The nutrients will then leach down to the rootzone when you water the plant. A general rule is to use a small handful every month.

Existing Plants /Shrubs and Trees (including Ericaceous)

Mix or dig in generous handfuls around the base of plants or top dress and then repeat regularly throughout the growing season.

Vegetable Garden

If sowing or planting in rows, lightly cover the entire row before covering with compost. Young plants and seedlings can then access the goodness.

Some types of vegetables prefer a side dressing. This means you dig out rows of covered worm castings adjacent to the plants.

Garden tip: Most growers use worm castings at a higher ratio in vegetable plots, up to 25% but the general advice is to use little and often.

Propagation/Potting on/Seedlings

You can line the base of your smaller pots with Wormganix or mix it into your compost. It isn't recommended to plant or sow directly into pure worm castings due to the high NPK values.
