What We
Do

Casting Call envisions a world free of toxic fertilizers, where natural gardening solutions like our worm castings have become a household staple, and awareness of their role in soil regeneration and environmental stewardship has cultivated a global community of superheroes committed to healthier gardens and ecosystems.

Driven by our passion for sustainability and our love of gardening, we invite you to join us on this journey to cultivate gardens that are not only beautiful but also environmentally responsible. Together, let's create a world where gardens flourish, ecosystems thrive, and nature's beauty shines bright. Welcome to Casting Call– where every garden is a star!

Eager to share their newfound passion with fellow gardeners, Sali & Mike embarked on a mission to bring the benefits of worm castings to the masses. Thus, Casting Call was born – a company dedicated to providing premium-quality worm castings and promoting sustainable gardening practices.

Drawing inspiration from the glitz and glamour of old Hollywood, Sali chose the name "Casting Call" as a nod to the starring role that worm castings play in nurturing vibrant, thriving gardens. With a touch of whimsy and a whole lot of heart, Casting Call set out to revolutionize the way people nourished their plants – one garden at a time.

Benefits

Nutrient-Rich Soil Amendment

Worm castings are a powerhouse of nutrients essential for plant growth, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. They provide a balanced diet for plants, promoting vigorous growth and robust health.

Improved Soil Structure

The humus content in worm castings improves soil structure by enhancing soil aggregation and porosity. This leads to better aeration, water retention, and root penetration, creating an optimal growing environment for plants.

First-Rate Materials

We have strict standards when it comes to what we produce and never compromise on quality. This is especially true when it comes to the first-rate materials we use. Our customers deserve the highest level of products on the market, and we work tirelessly to maintain those standards.

Natural Pest and Disease Resistance

The beneficial microbes present in worm castings help suppress harmful pathogens and pests in the soil, reducing the risk of plant diseases and pest infestations. This natural defense mechanism promotes a healthier and more resilient garden ecosystem.

Environmental Sustainability

Produced through the natural process of vermicomposting, worm castings are an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. They promote sustainable agriculture practices by enriching the soil without harming the environment or depleting natural resources.

Safe and Non-Toxic

Worm castings are organic and free from harmful chemicals, making them safe to use around children, pets, and wildlife. Unlike synthetic fertilizers, they do not pose any risk of chemical burns or toxic runoff, ensuring a safer and healthier gardening experience.

Long-Lasting Effects

Worm castings provide slow-release nutrients to plants, ensuring a continuous supply of nourishment over time. This results in sustained plant growth and resilience, reducing the need for frequent fertilization and promoting long-term soil health.

Versatile Application

Worm castings can be used in various gardening applications, including soil amendment, top dressing, compost tea, seed starting, and mulching. Their versatility makes them suitable for use in vegetable gardens, flower beds, container plants, lawns, and landscaping projects.

Direction for use

1. Mix into Potting Soil

When repotting or planting new containers, mix worm castings into the potting soil. This provides an immediate nutrient boost to your plants and improves soil structure.

2. Top Dress Garden Beds

Sprinkle a layer of worm castings around the base of your plants in garden beds. This top dressing slowly releases nutrients into the soil as it breaks down, feeding your plants over time.

3. Seed Starting

Mix Casting Call into seed-starting mixtures to provide young seedlings with a gentle, organic fertilizer as they develop. The nutrients in worm castings support healthy root growth and help seedlings establish quickly.

3. Revitalize Houseplants

Sprinkle a small amount of worm castings on the soil surface of your indoor plants, then gently water in. This provides a slow-release source of nutrients that will keep your houseplants healthy and vibrant.

5. Rotate Applications

Apply worm castings to your garden beds every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to maintain soil fertility and support healthy plant growth. Adjust the frequency based on your specific plants' needs and soil conditions.

Gardening Tip

Remember, consistency is key when using worm castings in your garden. By incorporating them into your gardening routine, you'll reap the benefits of healthier soil, stronger plants, and bountiful harvests.
