EB Stone Worm Castings Worm castings are quickly becoming a key ingredient in the organic garden, and when used in conjunction with our landscape mix, they feed your garden in a way that yields strong healthy plants that are much less susceptible to pests than those that are feed a dose of chemical fertilizers. Worm castings cause a plant to hyper-produce a naturally occurring enzyme called Chitenase. This enzyme is deadly to soft-bodied, sucking insects such as aphids, mealy bugs, scale, and thrips. It works by breaking down the exoskeleton of these insects which leads to either their leaving your plant, or to their death.  Worm castings can be, and are considered a natural, systemic insecticide.  In recent years, worm castings have become known as one way to defeat the tenacious, giant white fly that has migrated up into our region.  Ingredients: Natural worm castings.                      Available in 1 cu ft bags.
