Premium grade redworm castings: This blend of compost starts with 12+ months aerobically composted leaf and grass mix. When it comes in contact with the roots of a plant the fungi will bond the plant to the nutrients in the castings while increasing the plants water/nutrient absorption ability. The ground up bacteria (nitrates) and other nutrients are now enmeshed with the fungi. Once the food is broken down by the microorganisms, it is ready to be consumed by the red worms, thereby concentrated into a nice little worm cast that is ready to be used. Each new food brings its own set of bacteria/fungi.
This can be found in a compost of many animal manures, but the most diverse compost is one that contains food wastes from fruits, vegetables, grains, etc. Why castings? Biodiversity! Red worms thrive in a compost that is loaded with all kinds of bacteria fungi and nitrates.
