VermaPlex™ Pure Black Castings™ : A Little Goes A Long Way

VermaPlex™ and Pure Black Castings™ are  powerful yet always safe to use.  It's impossible to use too much.  Unlike chemical fertilizers, the measurements for worm-created fertilizers are not crucial.  However, these all natural plant foods are concentrated, so you get great results from a small amount.  Since they are slow-released, you'll never have to worry about burning plants.

It's recommended that after applying Pure Black Castings™ you drench the castings with a mixture of VermaPlex™ for inoculation.  See the following for mixtures and uses.

Transplanting Seedlings with VermaPlex™  and Pure Black Castings™

Plants From Small Pots and 6 Paks:

1. Mix 8 oz. of VermaPlex™ in a gallon of water.  Fill 2 or 3 inches of this mix in a pan.  Place the pots in the pan to soak while you dig holes for the plants.
2. Place a handful of Pure Black Castings™ in each hole, put the plant in the hole, and cover.
3. Pour the VermaPlex™ mixed with water around each new transplant.
4. Foliage feed with 4 oz. VermaPlex™ mixed with water in a pump sprayer in early morning or late afternoon every two to three weeks.  It is very important to do the foliar application to set fruit and again in two weeks after fruiting begins.

Plants From Larger Pots:

1. Add 20% Pure Black Castings™ to your potting soil.  Do the root soak.
2. Place a handful of Pure Black Castings™ in the hole.  Use the potting soil mix to backfill around your plant.
3. Transplanting trees:  Use one pound Pure Black Castings™ per 1 inch caliper of trunk in the bottom of the hole and another pound around the drip line.  Drench with the VermaPlex™ mixture and do foliar spray now and every month.

Planting Seeds 

1. Dig your furrow and line with 1/4 inch Pure Black Castings™.
2. Place seed in the furrow and back fill with garden soil.
3. Drench furrow with a 4 oz. VermaPlex™ mix in a gallon of water. 
4. When plants reach 6-8 inches tall, start the spraying regime.
