Wormcast (or Vermicompost, or Biohumus – take your pick) is such a valuable addition to the gardener’s ‘toolkit’. Use it alongside our other natural, organic aids like Mycorrhiza, Seaweed and Neem when you are planting your vegetables, shrubs and flowers to almost guarantee a wonderful display or crop.
But how about if you want to give your established plants something extra? Extra but also organic, natural and totally artificial chemical free. Well, we have just the stuff – Soil Extract Fertiliser from Worm Compost.
This stuff bursting with all the good stuff from Wormcast but it’s a liquid and easy to apply to your established plants. It’s really a highly concentrated extract of Biohumus, containing all of the essential ingredients that plants need.
Stuff such as the three essential acids – humic (loads), fulvic and amino – plus all the macro and microelements, natural soil antibiotics, fit vitamins and micro-organisms that your plants need.
It’s also great value – one litre should produce 200 litres of huminic fertiliser.
First, simply dilute it in water (lukewarm water is best) as below:
- For Root and foliar fertilisation use 1 cap in 6 litres of water
- For Soil Treatment during Spring and Autumn fertilisation and for replanting use 1 cap in 1.5 litres of water (about 150 ml per plant.)
- For soaking seeds prior to sowing use 1 cap in 3 litres of water (Some recommended soaking times are: tubers/onions 1 hr; legume seeds 6 hrs; radish/lettuce seeds 12 hrs; carrots/cucumbers/pumpkin seeds 24 hrs
How often should you apply your organic fertiliser? Well, we think all gardeners get a feel for such things but generally the recommendations are:
- Garden Plants – Every 10 days during vegetation period.
- Indoor Plants (excluding Cacti and Succulents) – Twice a month.
- Cacti and Succulents – Once a month during growing period.
- Bushes and Trees – Once a week after replanting.
