MAGIC Worm Ranch, a Plantersville Texas company, is ranching worms. More specifically, the ranch refines what the worms produce; earthworm castings. Owner and founder, Gary Green, has thousands of African nightcrawlers residing at the ranch in an indoor, temperature-controlled environment. They are being cultured in the best, black Texas dirt available. This means that not only is the quality unrivaled, but these castings are Texas tested for Texas gardens. “The lowly earthworm is nothing short of amazing. It is a very simple organism but needs a lot of care” explains Gary Green.
The hungry crawlers are fed a proprietary diet of special organic ingredients. The worms thrive in this carefully prepared and balanced bedding mix and what they leave behind is the richest natural soil nourishment known to humans. Worm castings. The organic matter consumed by the worm is changed both physically and chemically by the worms’ digestive track and is literally “homogenized.” With no odor or additives, these worm castings stimulate plant growth more than any other natural product on the market and contain a highly active biological mixture of bacteria, enzymes, and remnants of plant matter as well as earthworm cocoons (when damp). The castings are extremely rich in water-soluble plant nutrients; the nutrients that cause spectacular plant growth.
“Our goal is to create a thriving and organic, green business that not only supports our local community, but also our planet.” says Operations Director, Tim Green. “Earthworm castings are proven superior to the run-of-the-mill synthetic, industrial fertilizers that kill the soil and pollute our groundwater. Instead, make your soil rich with earthworm castings and watch your plants thrive like never before. It’s powerful. Wait until you see the size and volume of tomatoes you can grow with these castings! You’ll never go back! We believe every day is Earth Day and enjoying these kinds of yields without polluting the environment is what makes it special to me.”
