A testimonial on the worm ladies castings

Hello Wormladies,

 

      I have been carefully brewing and analyzing "Actively Aerated Compost Tea's" as part of an initiative to develop a well rounded,

diverse, and effective soil/foliar inoculants. In a recent test I replicated two identical brews to examine the effects of using commercial

worm castings vs. your worm castings. The commercial castings I purchased came from a local hydroponic shop. When I ran the first

brew with these bag-bought castings, I was very disappointed in what I saw under my microscope. Quite frankly, there was not much

life. After I finished the same cycle with your castings, I was amazed! Just one drop of the tea contained an incredible abundance and

diversity of bacteria. It didn't stop there; I witnessed large populations of different types of protozoa including flagellates, ciliates, and

amoebae. Fungal content was impressive, and I even saw 'bacterial feeding' (the good kind) nematodes! Tea made from your castings

FAR exceeded the quality of tea made from the commercial castings. I am excited to see such a valuable resource produced and sold

locally; keep up the good work!

 

Sincerely, 

Sean Ryan

The surprising facts about food waste:

• The average U.S. family of four produces about 2,000 pounds of food waste each year.
• According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, food waste is the third largest category of municipal solid waste (MSW) in the U.S., accounting for about 13 percent of MSW material.
• Americans throw away more than 25 percent of the food we prepare, according to a study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
