Castings, Earthworm

Definition

The excretions left behind by worms after they digest the organic matter that makes up their diet. Earthworm castings can greatly enhance plant growth, and if used regularly in lawn care services can also help restore soil life and health. These castings can also help improve lawn aeration and the water retention capacity of a lawn.
