Worm Castings And Bat Guano

I’ve had a lot of people ask me about worm castings and bat guano. I’m here to tell you that they are both great options for your garden!

Worm castings, also called worm poo or vermicast (not earthworm castings), are the end-product of the breakdown of organic matter by an earthworm. Castings contain water-soluble nutrients and beneficial microorganisms that help plants grow to their full potential.

Worm castings are different from composted materials in that they have a higher concentration of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium — making them better suited for growing things like vegetables and flowers that need lots of nutrients. They’re also easier to apply because they don’t require turning over as often as traditional compost does.

Bat guano is an organic natural fertilizer that contains many beneficial bacteria, fungi and yeasts that are essential for plant growth and development. The main benefits of bat guano include increased soil quality, increased seed germination rates and increased plant growth rates. Bat Guano is a great source of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium.

Bat Guano is a great source of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium.

Bat guano is a highly effective organic fertilizer that helps revitalize soil to improve its physical properties such as water retention capacity as well as its biochemical characteristics such as cation exchange capacity (CEC) or total base saturation which determines the ability of soils to absorb nutrients like nitrogen and other minerals from fertilizer solutions. This process also increases humification due to higher levels of organic matter in the soil which improves micronutrient availability by increasing earthworm activity thereby improving nutrient cycling efficiency in agricultural practices like no-till farming methods (see figure 2).

In general, worm castings contain just as much NPK as bat guano.

In general, worm castings contain just as much NPK as bat guano. Bat guano, however, has a higher nitrogen content than castings and less phosphorus. Castings have a similar amount of phosphorus to bat guano but less potassium and calcium. Bat guano is richer in magnesia than either of these two materials.

Worm castings are usually made with slow-releasing components, so it’s a lot less likely to burn your plants than other fertilizers like blood meal or fish emulsion.

Unlike other fertilizers, worm castings have a slow-release component and are therefore much less likely to burn your plants. Plus, they’re made up of worm poo—which is probably the most organic substance on earth. So if you’re looking for an organic fertilizer with minimal environmental impact and maximum greenish-brown color (that’s right: I said it), then worm castings might be for you! If you don’t know what “greenish” means in this context, well…I guess that’s just too bad for you.

Worm castings have a very long shelf life due to their lack of moisture content. You can store them in sealed containers for up to two years with no degradation of quality or loss in nutrient value

• Worm castings have a very long shelf life due to their lack of moisture content, so you can store them in sealed containers for up to two years with no degradation of quality or loss in nutrient value.
• Castings are highly absorbent, so they are often used as a soil amendment that helps retain moisture and nutrients.

Both worm castings and bat guano are healthy options for plants

Both worm castings and bat guano are organic fertilizers that can be used to grow healthy plants. Bat guano also known as bat poop, is the excrement of bats which can contain high amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Worm castings are the waste product left over from red wigglers (earthworms) that eat food scraps and then make their way through the earthworm’s digestive system where it’s deposited into their cocoons for storage or feeding for later use in composting or gardening. Both types of natural fertilizer provide excellent nutrients for your plants’ roots as well as helping build up beneficial soil microbes that keep your soil healthy.

If you’re looking for something that’s going to give your plants nutrients and keep them growing strong, then both worm castings and bat guano are great options!
