WHAT IS WORM POWER? Scientific Study of Worm Power: Worm Power - earthworm composts, are stabilized organic materials produced by multiple, long-term interactions between earthworms and multi-classed beneficial microorganisms in a controlled environmental process. These earthworm worked materials are highly prized for their benefits to (1) soil chemistry, (2) physical properties, and (3) plant/soil biology Earthworm compost materials, such as Worm Power, have been reported in peer-reviewed scientific literature to enhance plant germination, plant growth and crop yields in both field soils and greenhouse crops. Such increased productivity of crops, in response to vermicomposts amendments, have been attributed to greater availability of mineral nutrients (vs. inorganic nutrients in commercial plant growth media), as well as their rich microbial populations. The presence of plant growth influencing substances, such as plant growth hormones and humic acids in vermicomposts has also been suggested as a possible factor contributing to the increased plant growth and yields. Documented cases of earthworm compost-mediated plant disease suppression have also been reliably reported. Disease suppression appears to depend on the biological activity of the material, although the specific microbial groups involved in disease suppression are as of yet unidentified. rn The Benefits of Using Worm Power:
Worm Power is an organic (OMRI Listed) worm casting fertilizer produced in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State in one of the largest commercial vermicomposting facilities in the United States. A few of the many benefits of Worm Power include its ability to improve the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil. Organically enriching your soil to thrive even under demanding conditions. WORM POWER benefits include:
Excellent in starting new plants from seed or transplants. Improves germination and reduces transplant shock. Improved root growth and plant rooting structure. Timely release of plant available nutrients (no risk of fertilizer burn). Improved soil structure and porosity for a better root environment. Improved moisture infiltration rates (reduces erosion). Beneficial supply of microorganisms to surround soil and growing media. Odorless. Safe around kids and pets. Great supply of water soluble nutrients to plants.
