Vital Earth’s® Mega Worm®
Our superior quality worm castings use only African night crawlers, raised in organic bedding with no toxic materials. Worm casting's symbiotic relationship with the organic matter in soil makes for more readily available nutrients for plant roots to synthesize and utilize.
Unlike other compost , worm castings also contain worm mucus, which help prevent nutrients from washing away with the first watering and holds moisture better than plain soil.
Safe and pet-friendly, our worm castings are an essential part of taking your gardening to the next level. Vital Earth’s® Mega Worm® earthworm castings promotes enhanced germination, root growth, plant growth, crop yield & water holding capacity in soils. Designed to improve physical structure of soil. Excellent for use in compost tea!!

Vital Earth’s® Organic Compost
Vital Earth’s® Organic Compost (OMRI listed) is made from a recycled all natural blend of leaves, grass, plant pruning, bushes and woody material from Southern Oregon. Our organic compost is made up of 39% humus, making it exceptionally rich in organic matter. Humus is the life of your soil. Without it, soil is inactive and unable to produce plants, grass, or flowers. Humus is important because it retains moisture in the soil, loosens the soil permitting better aeration and drainage, and encourages the increase of soil organisms which help make nutrients available to plants.
Vital Earth’s® Organic Compost makes plant nutrients more readily available during all stages of growth and flowering. Vital Earth’s® Organic Compost is a soil conditioner which aids in the fertility of the soil, and helps to retain moisture in soil. Vital Earth’s® Organic Compost is also excellent in compost tea and as a top dressing.
Vital Earth’s® Organic Compost is heated to roughly 145 degrees and turned for 15 days to kill pathogens and weed seeds, ensuring a premium product. In all, the materials are composted and cured for 12 to 18 months and turned at least 3 times.

Vital Earth’s® PUMICE
Vital Earth’s® PUMICE is a type of extrusive volcanic rock, produced when lava with a very high content of water and gases (together these are called volatiles) is extruded (or thrown out of) a volcano. As the gas bubbles escape from the lava, it becomes frothy. When this lava cools and hardens, the result is a very light rock material filled with tiny bubbles of gas.
