User questions & answers

Question:	What is the solution (NPK) on this
Answer:	There is no such listing as "NPK" on the ingredient percentages
Question:	For a potted meyer lemon tree, how much should I use
Answer:	My lemon tree is only about 2 ft. tall and has been inside all winter. I added 1 3/4C. Jobe's fertilizer and watered it well. that was two days ago and it appears to be doing very well. Because my tree has been inside I have been misting the leaves every day.It had about 50 blossoms on it and is very healthy. I hope to plant it in the ground in April or May.,
Question:	What is the percentage of nitrogen, phosphate and potassium in the fertilizer
Answer:	This fertilizer is 4-4-4. The first number indicates 4% nitrogen, second 4% phosphorus and the third 4% potassium. The best way is to incorporate 4 pounds of 4-4-4 per 100 sq.ft. prior to planting. This kind of fertilizer is called "all purpose" fertilizer. My recommendation is that you analyze your soil with an inexpensive test kit (Amazon has them). Then decide what you want to grow and research on-line what the optimum fertilization ranges are for your specific plants or vegetables. Then, if you incorporate the all purpose fertilizer into you soil before planting you can spot supplement with specific fertilizers as needed. There are many organic solutions available to you. The great thing about Jobe's -09526 is that it is organic so you will be starting off the right way. Lots of luck with your plants.
Question:	what are the actual ingredients
Answer:	Protein Hydrolysate from feather meal, bone meal, composted poultry manure, sulfate of potash and various bacteria, endomycorrhizae, ectomycorrhzae and archaea.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this help lawn
Answer:	Pomegranate plants or trees can use this fertilizer, since their needs are similar, but I read that a 8-8-8 formula would be better formulation. This fertilizer ,Miracle Grow Shake'n'feed for citrus is 13-7-13.
Question:	Is there any shelf-life? How long can it stay "good" without use? I plan to use around my tree seedlings and some grown trees and shrubs
Answer:	I am a science teacher and have grown many Avocados from a pit, and have only used this product. Many of my trees are 1-4 years old and doing better than expected.
Question:	What is the N-P-K rating
Answer:	The NPK is 8-2-12
Question:	I hear something wiggling inside the bag. I live in an apartment; if there are worm in the bag I want nothing to do with them. What should I do
Answer:	A 12-4-8 NPK ratio is not a good formula for tomato fruit production. It's OK to give it this when the plant is small, but you will not get a good tomato crop if you continue with this ratio. Fruit production requires more phosphorus than this fertilizer can provide. I always have excellent fruit production with 10-10-10.

Wiggle Worm Soil Builder

Soon to be known as the 'World's Greatest Organic Fertilizer'.

What are Pure Earthworm Castings?

Wiggle Worm Soil Builder Pure Earthworm Castings Organic Fertilizer is an all purpose natural fertilizer that comes to you straight from nature with no alterations whatsoever. Our nightcrawlers are fed a very rich organic material which contains a wide variety of minerals and trace elements. The earthworms digest this material and in its' passage through the worm, it is beneficially altered both chemically and physically. The end product is 'super humus' an extremely fertile organic fertilizer properly conditioned for best root growth, containing in rich proportion and water soluble form, all the elements required of the earth for optimum plant nutrition.

Pure Earthworm castings, as stated, contain rich proportions of water soluble nutrients. This is a primary reason for being able to provide incredible results. Wiggle Worm Soil Builder allows plants to quickly and easily absorb all essential nutrients and trace elements. This is possible because the worm grinds and uniformly mixes the nutrients and trace elements in simple forms, so plants need only minimal effort to obtain them. This is not the case with most other natural fertilizers. Though they may have many nutrients and/or higher analyses, the ability of plants to optimally use them is limited because they are not broken down to the degree in which the earthworm is able to provide them.

As well as an abundance of available nutrients, Wiggle Worm Soil Builder Pure Earthworm Castings also provide a perfect mix of nutrients that are not readily available, but present for long term nutritional needs. This allows plants to feed as needed for weeks and months at a time, depending on the plant.

Chemical fertilizers usually provide only available synthetic nutrients, much of which are quickly lost into the soil with watering, as a plants' root system can only absorb so much. Chemical fertilizers are most often detrimental to soil microbiology, by-passing and often destroying much of its beneficial microbial and bacterial activity. At the same time, many of these synthetic nutrients are absorbed into your plants and food. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides used in both farms and gardens have become our country's leading cause of water pollution.

Another point in favor of Wiggle Worm Soil Builder Pure Earthworm Castings is the high concentration of beneficial bacteria and microbes added to them by the earthworm in the digestive process. These microscopic creatures help different elements of the soil work in conjunction with each other to create healthy, working soil that provides the best possible atmosphere for optimum growth.

Yet another benefit of Wiggle Worm Soil Builder Pure Earthworm Castings is their ability to improve soil structure. These miniature football shaped particles improve aeration of the soil as they don't pack together. This allows roots the ability to grow fast and fibrous which promotes rapid plant growth. It also allows for excellent drainage in soil so roots don't become waterlogged or develop root rot. While improving aeration, Wiggle Worm Soil Builder Pure Earthworm Castings also increases the soil's water retention capacity as they contain absorbent organic matter that holds only the necessary amounts of water needed by the roots, while their shape allows unnecessary water to easily drain.

The simple fact is that Earthworm Castings were created by nature for the purpose of promoting optimum plant growth and everything required to provide it, is found in them. When you concentrate this odorless, non-burning miracle of nature in greater concentrations than usually found in nature, the results are truly spectacular. This is why we offer a money-back guarantee. Demand PURE worm castings. Demand The Best Wiggle Worm Soil Builder earthworm castings.

User questions & answers

Question:	Please tell me how I can effectively use this product for growing blueberries from seeds? Or there are other drugs or stimulants to speed up the proce
Answer:	One of the best things for garden and lawn is to go to a local farmer and buy raw milk. Let it sit in the container out of the fridge for a couple days. Then sprinkle/spray it on. You can water it down a bit to have it go further. It is full of enzymes and all plants LOVE it!
Question:	What is the amount applied to trees, shrubs etc and how to apply it
Answer:	I don't see an "expiration date" on the bag, but there is moisture inside...which accounts for the weight of the bag that probably keeps the microbes alive for much longer than 3 months if you keep it in a cool, dark place (say garage). Once the bag is opened and it dries, it becomes significantly lighter. Since it is so expensive I would not waste it on grown trees and shrubs and instead use it only on the seedlings, young perennials and annuals in flower beds. Cheaper compost would suffice as a top dressing for your trees and shrubs. I mix mine as a component in my germination mixes and it does not seem to degrade in quality even after a year for that purpose. I will never garden without this stuff again.
Question:	Is this product ideal for japanese maples planted in containers (not bonsai
Answer:	I am assuming you are new to growing ,N-P-K rating is for fertilizer. Earth worm castings is NOT a fertilizer. Its a soil amendment. Earth worm castings help get the micro biology going in your dirt. Which breaks down your nutrients(N-P-K), which makes it easier for your plant to absorb its food. Maybe this link will help you with the basics. http://www.gardeners.com/how-to/fertilizer-basics/5161.html
Question:	How would I make a 1 gallon concentrated liquid that I can use in a hose-end sprayer for lawn/plants? What's the ratio to make concentrate
Answer:	Whatever is inside the bag is probably more afraid of you, than you are of worms. So, yell "Boo" at the top of your lungs and the thing inside your bag will so silent and still, hoping you go away. Do this several times a day, and you should never hear anything wiggle inside the bag again. Whatever you do, don't plant that frightened create with your plants. That will just terrify the poor thing.

Question:	What’s the recommended application rate for this product
Answer:	We as a Company have not tested using our Product in a hydroponic system, however some of out Customers have used it and said it works in their hydroponic system. I think it would depend upon the type of filters you are using and whether your filter will allow our Product including our Microbes to go through without creating a bio film. Our ingredients are micronized into a soluble powder.
Question:	How does this do for blackberries
Answer:	The NPK for Organic Plant Magic is 6-5-5 + Calcium. Organic Plant Magic is Alive with Beneficial MicroOrganisms which break down the nutrients in the soil into available plant food. The microbes also "fix" nitrogen from the air and water. Our product will not "burn" your plants.
