Brut Organic Worm Castings - 30 LB, Natural Nutrients, Fertility Builder and Plant Food - Indoor and Outdoor Planting, Enrich Potting Soil, Gardens, Raised Beds

So I am going to begin by talking about price: This sack of poop might seem expensive, but it’s actually in line with other offerings out there (both here on Amazon and at your local garden store). Any of you who regularly buy this compost have probably noticed that the price of worm castings fluctuates as much as the stock market. I bought this product because its major competitor here on Amazon, Wiggle Worm, experienced a particularly high spike. (I have actually bought Wiggle Worm 14 times starting in 2015 and as recently 2021.). The most I paid (after sales tax of 7%) was $42.15… which certainly felt like price gouging. So … I gave this brand a try. I was very pleased that I did. It is that rich black organic matter that I am very familiar with. Clearly there were no additives, it was completely pure. It had no odor (exactly as it should be). Something I read in the recent reviews of Wiggle Worm earthworm castings was that evidently they have been putting additives in their mix. Folks were even posting pictures of what the mixture looked like. Frankly, that spooked me. I think, even if Wiggle Worm does come back down in price, I might not buy from them based on those reviews that were backed up by photos. To make things worse, some reviewers said their bags contained gnats. — Listen, I have always loved Wiggle Worm, but business is business. If you happen to use the Square Foot Gardening method, this definitely could be used as one of your five composts to create your “soil” mixture. I use it for exactly that. However, I do also use it as a ground soil amendment . It’s remarkably versatile. It helps to give your soil medium the “friable” texture that is ideal for plant growth and plant health. Overall, this is an excellent product. I highly recommend.

Good product will purchase again. Thank you.

A small amount inserted into the planting hole fertilizes naturally with readily available nutrients roots can absorb for a quick start to the growing season, resulting in healthy robust plants that produce heavily. Easy to use, I especially like to use it for starting seeds, transplanting seedlings, and mixing with coconut coir to start fig cuttings. I like to use a "tea" made from saved rainwater, Salmon extract or Alaska Fish emulsion, combined with kelp extract and Texas Tomato Food fertilizer. So little is needed that it makes it a great value that will last a long time. I try to feed the plants every week for best results. Mulch heavily around plants and between rows to avoid those nasty summer weeds that can overtake a vegetable garden. Don't use hay. It can contain weed seeds and/or weed killing chemicals that can kill a garden. Teach a child to grow plants. My best wishes for your gardening success! People might just ask how you did it.

This product is great!! It definitely goes well with potting soil. If you want healthy and fresh stuff from your garden, this product will give you that!!

Great to mix in with soil & other amendments for planting. The 30lb bag is a great savings.
