BENEFITS OF ANNELIDA PREMIUM EARTHWORM CASTINGS

About Annelida Casting InnovationsAnnelida Casting Innovations has developed a commercial-scale worm farm to address the challenge of our depleting soils utilizing castings (vermicast/worm excrement). We are inspired by a greener, more environmentally friendly future and see the need for a significant change in agricultural practices. Traditional farming practices and use of fertilizers and other chemicals over the years has destroyed the beneficial properties of the soil, decreasing its natural biology and fertility.

Our MissionAnnelida is committed to producing a high-quality chemical-free bio-stimulant while diverting thousands of pounds of food waste from local grocers per day, preventing it from ending up in landfills. We create our Premium Earthworm Castings in granular and liquid extract forms.

Annelida aims to provide a 100% natural, biologically diverse casting with the highest functionality available in an organic plant food. Annelida products are certified for organic use by OMRI, and third-party tested to ensure consistency and quality.

Whether you are farming, growing in a greenhouse, or gardening at home, our Premium Casting products will help you optimize soil conditions for ideal plant growth, increased yields, and improved flavour profiles without compromising the environment.

The addition of vermicast has consistently improved seed germination, enhanced seedling growth and development, and increased plant hardiness. Vermicast contains growth hormones and microbes that work in symbiosis with the plants and their root systems. This enhances the soil’s ability to retain water, inhibiting root disease, and pest resiliency. It also can insulate plant roots from extreme temperatures, reduce erosion, and, when biologically balanced, reduce weed growth as soil becomes healthier. Studies show improvements in crop yield, fruit set, trunk diameters, and more.Details on studies can be found on the Resource page at www.annelida.ca

The Annelida DifferenceAnnelida Casting Innovations facilities house more than 20 million Red Wiggler worms (Eisenia Fetida). Our worms are fed a proprietary feedstock blend, comprised of nine essential ingredients. The blend includes organic food waste from local grocers that would otherwise be sent to landfills, creating our Premium Earthworm Castings. Our competitors typically feed their worms peat moss and grains with a 10-14 day processing time. This results in an end product containing significantly less biology that plants require for healthy optimum growth.

Annelida’s patented, automated continuous-flow digestors provides an ideal environment for the worms to consume the feedstock during a 45-60 day cycle. This cycle allows the Red Wiggler worms the opportunity to properly process the feedstock, delivering approximately 15,000 pounds per day of the highest quality earthworm castings available on the market.

Annelida Premium Castings are rich in biology to support and enrich soils. The castings contain beneficial microbes, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, and essential mineral support, meeting the immediate needs of the plant. Other products in the market, such as animal manure, need time to be worked into the soil before the plant receives any benefits. Chemical fertilizers provide limited gains to plants and have detrimental effects on the environment, including run-off affecting our waterways, animals, and humans.
