My vermicast is produced using varying feedstocks including food scraps, my own mushroom compost, pure insect frass from my own colonies, spent brewing grains, comfrey leaves, coffee grounds, leaf mold, my local composting service, and more. This very deliberate process yields robust, microbially diverse vermicast that is rich in humates, fulvic acids, fungal hyphae, plant growth hormones, trace minerals and micro-nutrients. All this care and local sourcing makes for vermicast that will make your soil and your plants robust and thrive!
I conduct regular bioassays to confirm the quality of my vermicast, both for quality assurance and because garden science is FUN!
Farmers, cannabis producers, landscapers, herbalists and other advanced horticulturists know the difference good vermicast makes in plant health, yield, and potency. Attention to quality ingredients, vermicultural husbandry and protecting the micro-biome of these materials comes together to make a truly superior, living product.
Because my vermicast is fresh, living and produced in naturally diverse and healthy bins, it may occasionally have composting organisms present such as baby worms and cocoons, springtails, isopods, enchytraeids, microarthropods and more. These are naturally present in a healthy ecosystem and are not a problem (quite the contrary).

We use the term "vermicompost" or "vermicast" to describe the end product of the vermicomposting process. Many are more familiar with the term "worm castings". In the industry these terms are interchangeable. Strictly speaking though, to call a product "castings" implies that every crumble in the bag has come out of the south end of a worm (so to speak). The bin is a thriving, complex place and there are many factors breaking down bedding and feed into the dark, rich material we use. Since one cannot in a practical sense guarantee that each particle has literally been excreted by a worm (without some very advanced diapering), it's more accepted for those in the field to refer to the finished product as "vermicast" or "vermicompost". Since it is a uniform material this isn't a super important distinction, except to be clear and accurate. Like the cartoon says, "Thanks, Technically Correct Man!"
