SOIL HEALTH
Organic enrichment
Earthworms provide the diversity of more than 30,000
different biological species, including bacteria, fungi,
protozoa and beneficial nematodes, and promote the
development of " soil food webs. " Healthy soil is teeming
with tiny organisms that decompose organic material and
enrich the soil, creating soil food webs. Because soil is a
living organism, growers must understand soil biology,
Hahn said. The Cardiff, California-based supplier said
his organic soil solutions can help reduce soil salts and
improve soil structure.
Applying vermiculture to fields and orchards can help
improve soil health by lowering soil salts, eliminating
soil compaction and improving soil penetration.
Applications of one ton an acre of earthworm castings
on rootzones and spread throughout fields could provide
a 10% to 20% increase in yield. Alternatively, brewing a
mix kit of WormGold Plus, an organic non-toxic mixture
consisting of pure worm castings (92%), fossilized kelp
(for calcium), rock mineral (for mineral balance) and
other components for 16 to 24 hours would produce four
billion earthworms following a biological multiplication
of the earthworm produced biology.
By delivering the beneficial excrement through
castings, earthworms, produced from fertilized eggs,
replenish soil nutrition. The process can lower soil salts,
eliminate soil compaction and improve soil penetration
as well as increase the soil's carbon sequestration.
