Encapsulated Earthworm Cocoons TM
Specially selected, ready-to-hatch earthworms boost garden fertility.
Only from gardens alive! Earthworms are amazing creatures. Simply by performing their daily activities of moving about, feeding and eliminating spent food, they can single-handedly improve the quality of soil.
Gardens Alive! Encapsulated Earthworm Cocoons make it convenient and easy to add these soil-transforming creatures to your garden. Plant these ready-to-hatch egg cocoons just as you would ordinary seeds. Theyre especially useful
for people switching from conventional gardening
to organic gardening.
Greatest Living Natural Soil Boosters
Gardeners covet earthworms' presence in their plots because:
their castings boost nitrogen in the soil
they move deep-soil nutrients closer to plant roots
their tunnels loosen soil, improving aeration
their activities help soil particles bond, balancing moisture retention and drainage
Earthworms perform this same magic in compost, speeding the development of nutrient-dense, moisture-dispersing humus. In sufficient numbers, earthworms will rejuvenate depleted soil. They will shift soil pH closer to neutral and even control harmful nematodes. With their aid, sandy soil will drain more slowly, clay-type earth will drain more quickly, and the availability of nutrients will improve.
Landing New Recruits
Until now, it was tough to be certain you had enough of these beneficial organisms in your garden. With Encapsulated Earthworm Cocoons, you can plants worms in every square foot, wherever you need them.
These aren't the redworms that speed processes in your compost bin.
Our Encapsulated Earthworm Cocoons hatch species such as Lumbricus rubellus (litter worm or red wriggler) that can live in soil -- and transform it. Once planted, they will begin hatching and will continue to hatch over the course of weeks and months, sending out hungry worms to enrich your garden soil.
Putting Earthworms to Work
We ship Encapsulated Earthworm Cocoons at the proper time for your area, or on the date you specify. The cocoons (eggs) have a shelf life of 2-4 months when refrigerated, so you can buy them to hatch now or later. Hatch outdoors or in. Keep the encapsulated cocoons refrigerated until you are ready to hatch or plant them -- however, the sooner you start the hatching process, the greater the hatching rate. Hatching times will vary.
We recommend at least 1 worm capsule per square foot. The more you plant, the more worms you'll have working to make your soil its very best. Bring the family in on it: Hatching earthworms then watching them go to work is a great home science project for the kids!
