Vermicompost (Worm Castings) Available!

What is Vermicompost?

Vermicompost is compost made by worms. A couple of different kinds of worms make the most marketable kinds of commercial compost such as African Night Crawlers (ANC or Eudrillus eugeniae) and Red Wigglers (Eisenia foetida) but any kind of worm will suffice. They all do it. They take uncomposted stuff and break it down into compost by using it for food. That's right! Its "worm poop"! It has some insect control properties. We will post more on this later. We recommend 10% of your soil volume should be vermicompost. Raw worm castings,, screened extremely fine and untreated.

$19.50 per cubic foot

One cubic foot weighs approx. 26 lb.

That's 77 cents per pound!!!!

Rice Hulls Availalble

Rice Hulls

Rice hulls are used to decrease weight of soil mixes and improve soil structure. There is very little nutrient value added to the soil when using rice hulls because they breakdown so slowly. These rice hulls come from California rice producers and are not parboiled but have been lightly composted. Parboiling isn't necessary for these rice hulls.

$55 per cubic yard

Pumice

What is Pumice?

Pumice is lightweight, porous volcanic rock that is crushed to a small size and mixed into some horticultural soils. We use it for making soils that encourage the growth of cacti and other succulents. It has other uses, too. It is more durable and long lasting than perlite but has many of the same structural properties as perlite in soil mixes.

$160 per cubic yard

Rock Dust

Rock Dust (Kelzyme Café)

Rock dusts are extremely variable in quality. Viragrow chose this particular rock dust because its full of minerals and mined in Nevada from fossilized sea kelp. Recommended rate of application for existing soils 1 1/2 pounds of rock dust for each square yard. Larger properties require as little at 3 cubic yards per acre.
