Recommended Usage

How to get the best results from organic fertilizer

Getting the most out of organic fertilizer is straightforward. Here are our tried-and-tested recommendations based on years of experience with Philippine gardening conditions:

✓ Mix 25% vermicast with 75% loam soil for the best growing medium. This ratio gives your plants a nutrient-rich foundation with excellent drainage and moisture retention.
✓ Loam soil alone provides nutrients for 2-3 months. Topping up with vermicast extends the soil's productive life significantly, so you repot less often and your plants stay healthier longer.
✓ Works for both ornamental and edible plants. Whether you are growing kangkong and pechay or monstera and pothos, vermicast and cow manure are universally beneficial and completely chemical-free.
✓ Use as top dressing: Sprinkle a 1-2 cm layer of vermicast on top of existing soil every 2-3 months. Water it in and let the nutrients slowly work their way down to the roots. No need to repot or disturb the plant.

Why Organic Fertilizer?

Benefits over synthetic fertilizers

Synthetic fertilizers give plants a quick nutrient boost, but they do nothing for your soil. Over time, they can actually degrade soil health by killing beneficial microorganisms. Organic fertilizers work differently — they build a living ecosystem underground that sustains your plants naturally.

🧬 Feeds Soil Biology

Organic fertilizer feeds the beneficial microbes, mycorrhizae, and earthworms that create a self-sustaining soil ecosystem. Synthetic fertilizers feed only the plant.

🛡️ Won't Burn Roots

Slow-release nutrients mean there is zero risk of root burn, even if you apply too much. Synthetic fertilizers can damage or kill plants with over-application.

🏗️ Improves Soil Structure

Over time, organic fertilizers improve soil aeration, water retention, and drainage. The soil gets better with each application instead of degrading.

🥬 Safe for Edible Plants

No chemical residue on your vegetables and herbs. Grow pesticide-free food with confidence, knowing your fertilizer is 100% natural.

Pro Tip: Vermicast + Mulch

The secret to self-sustaining soil

Always add mulch (dry leaves, rice straw, or dried grass clippings) on top of your soil. This protects the beneficial microbes and organic matter from the intense Philippine sun and heavy monsoon rains.

When vermicast and mulch work together, the soil stays alive. Worms, insects, and microorganisms create a self-sustaining ecosystem underneath the mulch layer. The mulch slowly decomposes and becomes food for the soil organisms, which in turn produce more nutrients for your plants.

The result: your plants need less repotting because the soil continuously nourishes itself. Instead of replacing dead soil every few months, you simply top up with vermicast and add more mulch. The soil gets better over time, not worse.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between vermicast and compost? ▾

Vermicast (worm castings) is produced by earthworms digesting organic matter, resulting in a nutrient-dense material rich in beneficial microorganisms, humic acid, and slow-release nutrients. Regular compost is decomposed organic matter broken down by bacteria and fungi. Vermicast is more concentrated, has a finer texture, and contains significantly more beneficial microbes than standard compost. Think of vermicast as a more concentrated, refined version of compost — one application nourishes plants for up to 3 months.

Can organic fertilizer burn my plants? ▾

No. Unlike synthetic fertilizers, organic fertilizers like vermicast and composted cow manure release nutrients slowly and will not burn plant roots even if over-applied. This makes them especially safe for seedlings, delicate ornamentals, and new transplants. You can apply them generously without any risk of chemical burn.

How often should I apply vermicast to my plants? ▾

For potted plants, apply vermicast as a top dressing every 2-3 months. Sprinkle a 1-2 cm layer on top of the existing soil and water it in. For garden beds, mix vermicast into the soil when planting and reapply as top dressing every 2-3 months. Heavy-feeding vegetables like tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers benefit from monthly applications during their fruiting stage.

Is vermicast good for vegetables and edible plants? ▾

Yes, vermicast is one of the best fertilizers for vegetables and edible plants. It is completely chemical-free, so there is no risk of chemical residue on your food. It provides a full spectrum of nutrients and beneficial microorganisms that promote healthy growth. It works especially well for tomatoes, eggplant (talong), kangkong, pechay, sitaw, ampalaya, herbs like basil and mint, and root vegetables.

What is the best ratio for mixing vermicast with soil? ▾

The ideal mix is 25% vermicast and 75% loam soil. This ratio provides an excellent growing medium with sustained nutrition for 3-6 months depending on the plant. For seedlings or heavy-feeding crops, you can increase to 30-40% vermicast. Vermicast can also be used as a pure top dressing — just sprinkle it on top of existing soil without mixing.

How much organic fertilizer do I need for my garden? ▾

For potted plants, use about 100-200 grams (a handful or two) per medium-sized pot as top dressing. For garden beds, use approximately 1 kilo per square meter mixed into the top 5-10 cm of soil. For a standard 4x4 foot raised bed, 3-5 kilos of vermicast is a good starting amount. Not sure how much you need? Contact us with your setup details and we will calculate the exact quantity.

When is the best time to apply organic fertilizer in the Philippines? ▾

Organic fertilizer can be applied year-round in the Philippine climate. The best times are at the start of the rainy season (June) when plants enter active growth, and during the cool months (November-February) when conditions are ideal for gardening. If applying during the hot summer months (April-May), always add mulch on top to protect the organic matter from drying out in the heat.

What is the difference between vermicast and cow manure? ▾

Vermicast is more nutrient-dense and contains higher concentrations of beneficial microorganisms, humic acid, and mycorrhizae — one application can nourish your plants for 3 months without harming the environment. Cow manure is an excellent soil conditioner that improves soil structure, water retention, and adds bulk organic matter to poor or compacted soil. For best results, use vermicast as your primary plant food and cow manure to build and improve your soil base. Both are chemical-free and safe for edible plants.
