1 Cubic Yard Grow Green Vermicompost

Item Details:

Grow Green Vermicompost comes from pre-consumer food scraps (rinds, peelings, seeds, etc.) and coffee grounds from MSU dining facilities. It is mixed with leaves and other locally sourced dry organic material and briefly hot composted before being processed by red wiggler worms. The end result is a well-aged and stable soil amendment for plant growth.

Using compost regularly can improve the soil's ability to retain moisture. Vermicompost is a highly regarded soil amendment for its unique soil profile once the vermicomposting process is complete. It has a stable NPK ratio and thriving population of beneficial microbes that help defend the plant from pests and environmental factors during the growing season.
