• 6 kg (2.38€ / kg)

Beneficial effects

• Improves soil porosity.
• Retains large quantities of water.
• Boosts microbiological and energetic life in depleted soil.
• Rich in humic and fluvic acid.
• Improves plant nutritional quality.

Recommendations for use

• For planting or repotting: ¼ Lombricompost for ¾ soil.
• In vegetable gardens and flower beds: 200 to 300 grs of Lombricompost per m2 of soil.
• In window boxes: 1/3 Lombricompost for 1/3 soil and 1/3 compost.

Composition

Lombricompost, manure, seaweed and fermented plant extracts

Vermicompost production method

Pascal of Éco-lombricompost, Élementerre's partner and associate, makes this vermicompost by hand. In sheds, on windrows regularly fed in layers of 5/10cm, composed of a mixture of horse and cattle manure and seaweed. Up to 50 cm high at the end of the cycle, 2 m wide and 50 m long. In the dark and quiet (worms can't stand light and vibrations), over the course of 4 months, the worms will eat the manure and excrete the mixture to produce the Lombricompost. It is then sieved by hand. Made in Brittany, suitable for organic farming. NF U44-051, (EC) N°834/2017
