Dig it Up Mate Worm Castings
Dig it Up Mate Worm Castings feeds your plants and works on the soil around their roots at the same time! It's a 100% natural fertiliser made from pure worm castings, the material earthworms leave behind once they've digested organic matter. Pairing those two jobs is the real appeal. A mineral feed supplies nutrients, and these castings also improve the structure and biology of the medium your roots grow in.
The feeding comes from the slow-release nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the castings, along with essential micronutrients. Slow-release means those nutrients reach your plants gradually instead of in one hit. Each application keeps working through the weeks after it goes on.
On the soil side, Dig it Up Mate's castings improve structure, water retention and aeration. Your plant's roots need all three. The castings help the medium hold moisture for the plant to drink while it stays open enough for air to get through.
The castings also bring beneficial bacteria and fungi into the root zone, adding life to it. That counts most in living soil. There, microbial activity is part of how organic matter gets broken down and turned into food your plant can use.
For a container crop, you get both benefits for the whole life of the plant by mixing the castings into the medium at potting time and then top-dressing at regular intervals.
