Royal Gold lists the ingredient line as \u003cstrong\u003e100% worm castings\u003c\/strong\u003e. The bag carries an \u003cstrong\u003eOMRI Listed\u003c\/strong\u003e seal and \u003cstrong\u003eCDFA registration\u003c\/strong\u003e as an organic input material. That matters when you grow under an organic certification or want inputs a certifier will sign off on. The material pours out dark brown to black, granular and earthy, with a pH of \u003cstrong\u003e6.0 to 7.0\u003c\/strong\u003e. Each bag is \u003cstrong\u003e1 cubic foot\u003c\/strong\u003e, which works out to 6.43 gallons or 28.32 liters of castings. Castings work on structure first. They add organic matter, open up aeration in tight soils and help a mix hold water between irrigations. Royal Gold rates the product non-burning, so it can sit close to seedlings and fresh transplants without the risk a hot fertilizer brings. The castings are bagged by Royal Gold in Humboldt County, California, alongside the brand's coco-based soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUsing Organic Worm Castings in Containers, Beds and Compost Tea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eFor new container plantings, mix one part castings into five parts potting media. Move to one part in three when you want the mix to hold more water between waterings. On established houseplants and containers, top-dress up to an inch and scratch it lightly into the surface. Repeat that every two to three months. Outdoors, drop an inch of castings into each planting hole or furrow for vegetables and flowers. Perennials, shrubs and trees take a cup in the hole, and a large specimen can take up to five cups. Along an established row, side-dress about a cup per foot every month or two through the season. Lawns get the whole bag spread across roughly a thousand square feet at the start of the season. For tea, steep two cups in five gallons of non-chlorinated water for a day and apply it within the next day. An aerated brew at the same ratio runs up to a day and a half, and one bag holds enough for about fifty batches. The honest limit is feeding. Castings build the soil and support a fertilizer program, but heavy feeders still need their regular nutrients on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% Worm Castings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nothing else is in the bag, so the castings blend into soil, coco or soilless mixes without changing your feed program.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOMRI Listed and CDFA Registered:\u003c\/strong\u003e Both seals clear the castings for certified organic production as well as home organic gardening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNear-Neutral pH:\u003c\/strong\u003e The listed range sits close to neutral, so castings mix into most media without a pH correction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Burning Organic Matter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Royal Gold rates it non-burning, so it can go right against seedlings, cuttings and new transplants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFine Granular Texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e The dark granular castings spread evenly by hand, rake or fertilizer spreader across beds and lawns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompost Tea Ready:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two cups per five-gallon batch works for both steeped extracts and aerated brews with most inoculants and sugar sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndoor to Outdoor:\u003c\/strong\u003e The bag is labeled for outdoor, greenhouse, houseplant and indoor use, so one product covers every growing space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
