Brut Organic Worm Castings - 30 LB, Natural Nutrients, Fertility Builder and Plant Food - Indoor and Outdoor Planting, Enrich Potting Soil, Gardens, Raised Beds

So I am going to begin by talking about price: This sack of poop might seem expensive, but it’s actually in line with other offerings out there (both here on Amazon and at your local garden store). Any of you who regularly buy this compost have probably noticed that the price of worm castings fluctuates as much as the stock market. I bought this product because its major competitor here on Amazon, Wiggle Worm, experienced a particularly high spike. (I have actually bought Wiggle Worm 14 times starting in 2015 and as recently 2021.). The most I paid (after sales tax of 7%) was $42.15… which certainly felt like price gouging. So … I gave this brand a try. I was very pleased that I did. It is that rich black organic matter that I am very familiar with. Clearly there were no additives, it was completely pure. It had no odor (exactly as it should be). Something I read in the recent reviews of Wiggle Worm earthworm castings was that evidently they have been putting additives in their mix. Folks were even posting pictures of what the mixture looked like. Frankly, that spooked me. I think, even if Wiggle Worm does come back down in price, I might not buy from them based on those reviews that were backed up by photos. To make things worse, some reviewers said their bags contained gnats. — Listen, I have always loved Wiggle Worm, but business is business. If you happen to use the Square Foot Gardening method, this definitely could be used as one of your five composts to create your “soil” mixture. I use it for exactly that. However, I do also use it as a ground soil amendment . It’s remarkably versatile. It helps to give your soil medium the “friable” texture that is ideal for plant growth and plant health. Overall, this is an excellent product. I highly recommend.

Really love this product, revived many of my plants right away and had little baby garden worms that will make my garden soil even more awesome.

I am actually very impressed with the quality of these castings. They're a lil wet, but not too much. No filler, baby worms inside, and cacoons. Will buy again

I’ve bought two of these 30 LB bags within the last couple years. I don’t remember having encountered any worms in the first bag—and I would know, because as a cruel joke from the universe, I’m a gardening lover but have a huge worm phobia. 🥴 This second bag, I’ve encountered at least 15 so far, and I’m barely into the bag, so I can imagine how many more are in there. I know that these are beneficial, however, I manage an indoor houseplant collection of 150+, and I most certainly don’t want worms in my indoor pots. I’m not sure if the manufacturer missed a screening step or if this is what this product has evolved into since my first bag, but having to take on an extra step to remove them before potting up plants is something I’m very much not looking forward to. Other than that, (which in my case is a huge bummer), it’s great quality castings. Due to the perfect first bag, I rated 4 stars, but based on this last one, it’d be 3.

I will be buying some more, it has helped my plants greatly.
