Huge Rhubarb, astonishing tomato and strawberries

Check out this video featuring harvesting big rhubarb from Misilla’s channel: Learn To Grow.  She said a lot of her viewers are shocked at how huge her rhubarb gets!

“For the past three years, I’ve been using only worm castings and Vermisterra nutrient tea to amend our soil and feed our plants. Our plants have become healthier, more lush and bigger since! There are beneficial microbes and fungi in the worm castings which help break down organic matter that feeds the soil and plants. The humus from the worm castings retain nutrients, microbes and moisture while plant hormones and enzymes assist in plant growth and overall health making plants less susceptible to pests and diseases. We’ve also seen astonishing results with our tomato and strawberry plants!”

VermisTerra as Alternative to Fumigation – ROI, and Value of Vermisterra

Agronomist Peter Viss,  shares about Vermisterra, a “biological wonder”, what makes it special, what problems it may fix. He uses it to help farmers substitute for fumigation, aerate soil, mitigate salt, provide strength to trees, and keep irrigation lines clean. Peter explains how to use VermisTerra as a standalone product or to compliment an existing program.

Why haven’t we heard of VermisTerra?
Something so different, hard to explain and people are afraid because it’s too fantastic. Everything it claims to be and more, and create models to think thru it. No one else has been able to produce it.

Specific examples:
– Worm castings and tea as substitute for chemical fumigation in almond orchards
– Nematode count goes from high to none
– Great to help farmers fix specific problems or maximize profit

Using VermisTerra for Seed Starts

Gary from The Rusted Garden explains the difference between VermisTerra and other organic soil amendments. He’s been testing VermisTerra for 2 years and shares why he likes VermisTerra premium castings compared to other worm castings. He even compares the water weight content in VermisTerra earthworm castings (18%) and another brand (47%).

See his peppers, lettuce, sage, tomatoes, oregano, flowers, mint, grown indoors using VermisTerra aged castings and tea. Don’t overfeed seed starts!

 

 

The 10lb bag of premium worm castings will make over 120 quarts of seed starting mix, using the 1/2 cup (3.7 ounces) of castings to 3 quarts of starting mix. That is about 30 gallons of mix. The worm casting teas are concentrates that can be stored in the home, once open.

32 ounces of concentrate will make 10-16 gallons of worm casting tea based on using 2-3 ounces per gallon. A gallon container (128 ounces) of concentrate will make 40-64 gallons.

 

You can find VermisTerra worm castings and tea here on their site: https://vermisterra.com/ Use my code THERUSTEDGARDEN to save money on all your purchases. You can also find VermisTerra products on Amazon. Look for discounts and free shipping. Here is Gary’s link to VermisTerra worm casting products: https://amzn.to/2qfzciy

Healthier Start, Less Pest Issues

” I have been using their worm casting and worm tea products for most of 2017 and I will be continuing to use this as part of my gardening routine going into 2018. I have followed a lot of gardening advice and also learned from trial and error and found out that worm castings and worm tea provide consistent and safe way for plants to get nutrients. While there are other ways to boost your plant’s growth I prefer the steady and healthy results I get from Vermis Terra products.

My new tomato seedlings started off to a healthier start and as the plants grew I had less pest or damage issues that I have had in the past. I use worm castings in the seedling mix and when I transplant. Then I switch to the worm tea as the plants grow. Don’t expect fast growth but do expect healther looking plants. With the worm tea products you may see the plants get an instant pick me up.

I use worm tea in the watering process but you can foliar spray as well, which I have done a few times. You don’t need to worry about how much to apply to your plants. The 2 10lb bags should be enough for one season unless you are a busy gardener with many containers and repotting and transplanting. I have bought the bulk size of worm tea and it is taking a long time to use up. The regular bottles in this Bundle are enough, and again, I don’t really measure the amount, I just pour a couple of caps into a large watering can or in a foliar spray.

This product also won’t do any harm to your plants if you are mixing in compost or other fertilizers. The customer service from Vermis Terra is top notch and I have received hand written notes from Mindy herself. Thanks!”

Cucumbers Stay Fresh For 30 Days

“I’m a consultant for a cucumber greenhouse. We switched from chemical nutrients to VermisTerra to get into the organic market. We used both the worm castings and their tea. Doing so saved us tens of thousands of dollars, then earned us that much more. We could cut down on other nutrients, stop using the expensive UV and RO water systems. First, we saw less algae build up when using VermisTerra tea. No algae meant no more powdery mildew problems either. An unexpected effect was the increased size and increased shelf life of our cucumbers. Usually we have to sell the cucumbers within a week otherwise they go bad. The ones grown using VermisTerra could last for thirty days. We could ship them to other states. Even better, the taste was better. Retailers told us customers came back specifically for our brand because they enjoyed the flavor. This photo shows a conventional hydroponic competitor’s cucumbers compared to our organic VermisTerra grown cucumbers. I highly recommend my clients to use VermisTerra.” — Chris T., Arizona

Superior Product… Very Impressed With Their Quality

“One of the best fertilizers for organic gardens is worm castings. I use this if I don’t have a great source of compost for my garden… One of my favorite things about worm castings is they contain millions of soil microbes that can increase the population in your garden.

JL Organics is a family run business. It was started in 2002 and is located in Thermal CA. Their products are certified organic and they work with farms to help them switch from chemical farming to organic farming. They help farmers treat sick plants naturally and they also help gardeners to have organic gardens.

Their VermisTerra worm castings are aged 7-10 years and make sure all the undigested compost is broken down. That is really amazing, that they will take 7-10 years to make a very superior product. So we’ve been testing their castings and their teas right here on the farm, and we are very impressed with their quality. So if you don’t have a good source of compost, then I highly recommend that you get some of the VermisTerra worm castings to feed your soil microbes.”

VermisTerra Featured on High Performance Garden Show

As we looked for informative videos about the microbes living in your soil, I found a great explanation from gardening teacher Lynn Gillespie. Lynn is an organic farmer and gardening educator, who specializes in teaching High Performance Garden systems. I loved her video so much I got her permission to transcribe and post it! Watch a video where Lynn explains concepts from Teaming with Microbes Book, How the Soil Food Web Works.

 

As I watched more of her online series, I was so impressed. She teaches how to plant week by week, with little weeds, and lots of production. Her vast knowledge made the very interesting to watch.
After some email correspondence, I sent Lynn some of our VermisTerra earthworm castings and nutrient tea to test in her farm. She already composts but was very impressed at the quality of our worm castings. Here’s what she said on her show (Week 7) about JL Organics. Video will be available soon!
