Earthworm castings from Ferme Eugénia is a hygienic completely natural product that makes a top quality fertilizer. It has a notably high content of absorbable nitrogen, trace-elements and organic matter, as well as, phosphorus and potassium. Nitrogen is a key nutrient for plant growth. The absorbable nitrogen can be directly assimilated by the roots and is particularly suited for seed planting, both interior and exterior. Eugénia's earthworm castings' high content of absorbable nitrogen allows a rapid stimulation of a plant's leaf and stem growth without the risk of burning the roots. Trace-elements are essential to human, animal and plant life and health. They constitute just 1% or less of a plant's dry matter, but their presence often determines the vitality and quality of the plant's life. Earthworm castings from Ferme Eugénia are very rich in various trace-elements. This diversity helps create an essential equilibrium for your plants' health. Organic matter, under the effect of the soil's water and bacteria, releases carbonic acid which acts to break up the minerals in the soil, thereby making them more absorbable to plants. Phosphorus and potassium are slightly less abundant than the nitrogen in the earthworm castings, but they are in a highly absorbable form, which is why it is recommended to use the earthworm castings in moderation by mixing it with other ingredients.

Earthworm castings are much more than a fertilizer. They bring life to your soil because they contain a high concentration of beneficial micro-organisms. In order to digest the organic matter that earthworms feed on, they take in large quantities of these beneficial micro-organisms. Introduced into the soil by earthworm castings, these micro-organisms continue to live and reproduce when conditions are favorable: Ph, humidity, organic matter, heat, etc.. In organic farming, these miniscule "allies" have the ability to take the nourishment present in the soil, whether mineral or organic, and to digest, restructure and make it absorbable to plants. The high nitrogen content of earthworm castings contributes strongly to the development of these micro-organisms. Moreover, the earthworm castings are always free of pathogenic bacteria. Using earthworm castings in your garden is propagating the culture of beneficial microorganisms that work for your plants and therefore for you! In addition to nourishing your plants, garden and lawn, earthworm castings enrich the soil.
