Organic Fertilizer - Usage Guide
Organic natural fertilizer from worm castings is easy to use and you can't overdo it. Here's the usage guide to get the maximum growth benefit.
- 1 Gallon (16 Cups) covers 16 square feet of plants (e.g. One 4x4 bed)
- 2 Gallons (32 Cups) covers 32 square feet of plants (e.g. One 4x8 bed)
- 3 Gallons (48 Cups) covers 48 square feet of plants (e.g. 4x8 plus a 4x4 bed)
Keep castings moist until ready to use by misting lightly with water. This keeps the beneficial microbes alive and produces better results.
