Going along with today's theme, Let me perhaps introduce you to American Farmland Trust:
American Farmland Trust works to advocate for farmers, protect farmland, and change agricultural policy to help farmers stay on their land. As climate change and industrial development threaten soil health, AFT encourages farmers to adopt conservation practices that will save their land and our environment. “Roughly half of all the carbon that has been released to our atmosphere since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution has come from the soil due to poor farming practices. We can put that carbon back into the soil by following smarter farming practices,” John Piotti, president of American Farmland Trust, told Food Tank. And through their No Farms No Food campaign, they raise awareness of the importance of farmers and healthy agricultural land for our food system.

As compost worms move through our worm bins they consume large quantities of organic matter (up to half their body weight per day).
While they digest their food, they enrich it greatly with calcium, magnesium, phosphates and nitrogen.
In addition to that, vermicast contains up to 20 times more beneficial microorganisms than the organic matter they consume.
The resulting vermicast is water soluble and releases its nutrients slowly to the plants as the plants need them.
Castings will improve the water holding capacity of soil and will never burn your plants. They improve the soil structure and their nutrients are available to surrounding plants immediately.
Spectacular results have been achieved when growing fruits and vegetables in soil consisting to 80% of sand and just a 20% addition of vermicast.
Ask for a free sample of our vermicast to try out on your house plants this winter to see what it can do in your garden or lawn this summer.
