Description
Worm droppings have many advantages over fertilizer or normal compost.
The 7 benefits of worm manure or worm poop
1: Your plants grow faster
Worm compost contains traces of the natural hormones of your compost worms. These hormones promote the growth process of your plants, and are not present in fertilizer.
2: Your plants are healthier
Plants that are fertilized with worm manure appear to be less susceptible to fungi and diseases. This is due to the microorganisms in the vermicompost.
3: Groundwater is not polluted
Like fertilizer, vermicompost contains the important minerals N (nitrogen), P (phosphorus) and K (Potassium). But in much lower doses. This is not a bad thing. When fertilizing with fertilizer, you add an extreme amount of NPK, most of which washes away into the groundwater. In worm droppings, the minerals are bound and are slowly released. This is much better and eventually the plants absorb more.
4: Vermicompost prevents dehydration
Vermicompost can hold 9 times its weight in water. This is a nice buffer for dry periods.
5: Vermicompost promotes germination and root growth
The enzymes and hormones in the worm droppings ensure that seeds germinate more easily and roots grow faster and better.
6: pest control
Do you suffer from white flies or aphids? Plants fed with worm manure are less sensitive to these pests.
7: higher yield
In various studies, plants appear to give more yield after fertilization with vermicompost. No wonder worm manure has been very popular with home growers of weed for years. See also for research results: www.wur.nl
