Thanks to KnC Worm Farm for allowing us to share the huge benefits of worm castings. So simple to do in your own home - check out using a Worm Hut (video on our FaceBook page)!

Good morning! We've been talking about worm castings for our new folks that offered a few questions. We always love questions so keep them coming.

As a soil amendment, castings are completely finished and unlike some manures, in our bins they smell like a rich forest soil. They will not burn your plants due to too much nitrogen. Castings do contain 4% to 5% more nitrogen than your average garden soil, but in a slow release form due to the mucous the worms secrete as they digest.

Worm castings make soil more absorbent, making moisture more consistently available to our plants preventing soil from completely drying out.

Worms introduce uncountable numbers of beneficial microbes and bacteria into the finished product, which in the end, guarantees the healthiest soil possible. Castings contain humic acid which aids in plant nutrient absorption.

This is just a start of why we love what we do and why we do it! Thanks for sharing this information!! Remember to have a groovy day!!

Forget haunted houses —degraded soil is the real horror show!  😱

With each lost layer, we’re stripping away the planet’s life force. 🕸️

Healthy soil is the foundation of our food, air, and water, but conventional agriculture has made it a ghost of what it once was. 👻

This Halloween, let’s treat the earth right and work to bring our soil back to life. 🌱

🪱 Without soil, there is no food, and there is no us. Our planet is losing soil at an alarming rate.

🌍 That's why Kiss the Ground exists - to teach the world about regeneration, a way of farming that builds back our soil instead of degrading it.
