Quality of worm castings

Q & A 

Q: I'm considering a cheaper worm castings product.  How do I determine the quality of the castings?
A:  Cheaper is cheap for a reason.   If you want to find out how "pure" the cut-rate worm castings you've found are, here is a test:

Worm Castings Purity test

  • Add one inch of the castings to an empty 20 oz water bottle.  
  • Add water, not all the way to the top.
  • Shake bottle up and let sit for 15 minutes.
  • As a comparison, do the same with our Pure Black Castings™.
Results:
  • An inferior product will have garbage floating to the top (like peat moss or un-decomposed organic material.) If "filler" has been added, there will be a layer of sand in the bottom.
  • Pure Black Castings will have nothing floating on top and only castings in the bottom.
Also, check for moisture content.  A wetter product will weight more, so you are getting fewer castings.  Pure Black Castings™ have less than 30% moisture.

Don't settle for less

Black Castings™ are considered the gold standard of organic worm castings.  Rigorous production criteria insures a quality product in every bag.
