Red Wigglers

---

  At maturity they can average 2 to 5 inches

Each worm are both Male and Female. Two worms pass between each others clitella ( a saddle looking band) and exchange sperm. Then each worm secretes a cocoon, which contain several eggs within. Depending on conditions the average hatching cycle is approximately 21 days.

Depending on conditions a Red Wigglers lifespan can vary between one and five years.

Under ideal conditions the Red Wiggler population can double on an average of 60 days.

No, Red Wigglers digest their food similar to a chicken with the help of their gizzards. Some form of grit is essential to aid with their digestion.

At maturity the average is 4 to 8 inches weighing approximately 1.5 grams.

As a hermaphrodite – both male and female organs. Two worms 

Join and pass through each other's clitella and exchange sperm.

Each worm may secrete cocoons that contain an egg each.

From egg to sexual maturity is about 20 weeks.

Known as a popular fish bait among Anglers. Gaining rapid 

acceptance to Vermicompost for their ability to burrow deeper

and assist in aeriation and moisture controls.

Both worms offer up a duo of benefits. The Red Wigglers are the main garbage disposal of food waste and the ENC are the construction crew digging deep, aerating and loosening up the compacted layers.

Worm castings, also known as Vermicompost, are the nutrient-rich excrement produced by earthworms as they digest organic matter. These castings are packed with essential nutrients, beneficial microorganisms, enzymes, and organic compounds that promote plant growth and soil fertility. unlike chemical fertilizers, worm castings are natural, organic, and environmentally friendly.

"The natural way to fertilize is to feed the soil and let the healthy soil feed the plants. Creating biological activity is the goal. The overall program is to apply a natural organic fertilizer three times a year: Early Spring, Early summer and Fall. Apply an organic fertilizer to all turf and planting beds at a rate of 20 lbs. per 1000 square feet. Repeat every 60-90 days during the growing season if greater response is needed."-Howard Garret, The Dirt Doctor

Think of worm castings as a natural fertilizer that will help your plants. Gardens thrive and grow to their fullest potential. They improve the soil texture and add easy-to-utilize nutrients into the soil, giving plants a boost. Here are a few specific benefits that you can expect from worm castings.

   *Encourage Vigorous Root Growth

   *Supply Organic Matter

   *Improve  Soil Structure

   *Supply Micro and Macro Nutrients

   *Increase Moisture Infiltration

   *Allow Plants to More Efficiently Utilize Nutrients

   *Enable Soil to Retain Nutrients Longer

   *Buffer Your Soil Ph

   *Adds Humus

   *Improves Moisture Capabilities of Your Soil

Our worm castings are a diverse casting that will grow your plants better, extensively for higher performance.

The moisture level content can change the weight of the worm castings.

Our castings are shipped with proper amount of moisture in order to maintain the quality you have come to know.

It clumps together when squeezed by hand and falls apart easily when crumbled.

Each order is hand packed, and a quart is a quart, and a gallon is a gallon.

Supplies needed consist of 

· 1 Worm Casting Tea Brew Kit

· 1 5 Gallon bucket

· 4  Gallons of Rainwater or Tap Water that has been

Allowed to sit 24 hours to reduce chlorine.

· 1 A small pump with air stone to aerate the tea. I use

the same small battery-operated air pump that I use

on my minnow bucket. Works great

· 1 Draw string if needed. -Included

· 1 5-Gal Cold Brew Coffee Filter. -Included.

  Add 4 gallons of dechlorinated water to a clean 5 gallon bucket.

Suspend the tea bag with draw string. Place the air stone in bucket and start. Allow to steep 24 to 36 hours. Shake the tea bag every now and then to help agitation.

Finished Tea Mixture can be used full strength or mixed at a ratio of

1:4 with small kit and a 1:10 with a large kit. Saturate the planted area or in a sprayer for foliar spray.

This potting soil recipe was developed by a gentleman named "Clackamas Coot". Infamous within the group of Home and Commercial growers. This recipe will raise a plant from seed to harvest proper watering only.

One will see improved yields and potency of the eventual harvest.

Living Organic soil is very rewarding to grow within- hands down.

All mineral and trace elements are researched and formulated and introduced through "Kis Organics".

Improved No-Till cycles

1/3 Canadian sphagnum peat moss (CSPM)

1/3 Aeriation- I use organic rice hulls.

Various Aerators can be applied. More importantly is to use a quality worm casting.

This is not a water only super soil by any means

"Here's an example of a tried and true watering schedule"

Used by bluejay with Coots and being the scientist, where plants are being pushed to 'peak health' and expressing their full genetic potential.

Day 1 plain water

Day 2 no watering

Day 3 MBP top-dress watered in with aloe/fulvic/silica(agsil)

Day 4 no watering

Day 5 plain water

Day 6 Neem/Kelp tea

Day 7 no watering

Day 8 plain water

Day 9 no watering

Day 10 coconut water

Day 11 no watering

REPEAT: Beginning to end, no change needed for various stages of growth, simple enough right?
