VERMICULTURE

For the past decade Organics Alive® has explored all its resources to discover a true revolution in hydroponics and soils alike. While for many years scientists and researchers have tried to create high levels of chitin degrading enzymes through genetic engineering, Organics Alive® strongly believes in an organic approach. Through extensive research, OA has developed a proprietary diet that is fed to eisenia foetida earthworms to produce castings which have a dramatic increase in the biological concentration of chitinase and cellulase producing organisms per gram.


 
These feeds exclude all landscape trimmings which may contain pesticides and fungicides. The feeds also exclude any animal manure which contains an excess amount of salts and pathogens such as e-coli and salmonella. Animal manures are commonly used as a food source to produce compost teas. Organics Alive® is not a compost tea. Organics Alive® uses only pure substances which are carefully measured and monitored for a precise vermiculture process.

This picture shows from a birds eye the Organics Alive® Vermiculture process. This process is diligently managed to create an environment perfect for the feeding and breeding of eisenia foetida earthworms. The rows of vermicompost are 12 feet wide and can be linked to create a six mile chain. The farm is 70 acres in size and created specifically for Organics Alive® worm castings.
