Restoring life to the soil. That is our mission statement. Feed the soil and the soil will feed the plants. That is what we preach. Our goal is to produce vermicompost that will make it simple for gardeners to create healthy soil. I know that most home gardeners don't have time to research all the methods that are used to amend soil, so we wanted to produce one product that would include a good balance of soil life. How are we doing?
According to our foodweb analysis, we achieved our goal!
I received our results this week and was able to talk about our results with the lab's consultant. He said that our numbers are great and our nematode number is especially good and includes predatory nematodes. He said that our vermicompost will be excellent for gardeners and farmers. He said that it will be especially good for making compost tea. It felt good to receive confirmation for what we are doing.
Our mixture and method is slightly different from other vermicompost operations. Our end product has achieved what we wanted - a product that will incorporate a balance of life back to the soil.

I am happy to report that Harleysville Ace Hardware is now stocking our vermicompost.
