Regular compost is decomposed organic matter. Vermicompost is produced by earthworms passing organic matter through their digestive systems. This creates a far more nutrient-dense, biologically active product. Vermicompost contains beneficial bacteria, fungi, and enzymes that regular compost lacks. It is also in a form that plants can absorb immediately.

You can apply it directly into planting holes, mix it with seedling medium, and use it on the most sensitive plants without risk.
