VitalCast – Organic Worm Castings (¼” Minus)
 
VitalCast is a rich, earth-scented soil amendment made from organic yard trimmings and food scraps naturally processed by red wiggler worms. The result is a fine, black, nutrient-dense vermicompost that enhances soil structure, microbial activity, and nutrient availability.
Screened to ¼ inch minus, VitalCast delivers a smooth, uniform texture ideal for blending into garden soil, raised beds, and potting mixes. This living soil amendment boosts plant growth naturally—providing essential macro and micronutrients in a slow-release organic form that plants can readily absorb. Perfect for gardeners, landscapers, and growers seeking to restore soil vitality, increase moisture retention, and promote long-term soil health without synthetic fertilizers.

Frequently Asked Questions – VitalCast Organic Worm Castings
1. What is VitalCast made of?
VitalCast is produced from recycled yard trimmings and food scraps, processed by red wiggler worms (Eisenia fetida). The worms digest organic matter, transforming it into microbe-rich castings that naturally enhance soil health and fertility.
 
2. How is VitalCast different from compost?
While compost is thermally decomposed organic matter, VitalCast is biologically transformed through worm digestion. It contains higher microbial diversity, improved nutrient stability, and greater moisture retention—making it ideal for soil rejuvenation and seed-starting mixes.
 
3. Is VitalCast safe for vegetables and organic gardening?
Yes. VitalCast is 100% organic and chemical-free. It’s safe for vegetables, herbs, fruit trees, ornamentals, and native plants. It can be used in organic farming systems, raised beds, or container gardens.
 
4. How much VitalCast should I apply?
For soil amendment, blend at 10–20% by volume with your existing soil or compost. For topdressing, apply a ½–1 inch layer around plants or across garden beds. One cubic yard covers approximately 280 sq ft at 1 inches deep.
 
5. Does VitalCast have an odor?
No. VitalCast has a pleasant, earthy aroma—indicating a healthy microbial balance. It is completely odorless compared to manure-based fertilizers or raw compost.
