Rich, Organic Boost for My Chunky Soil Mix 🌿🌱
I’ve been adding these organic worm castings into my chunky soil mix, and they’re a great natural fertilizer. The texture is rich and clean, and it blends in easily with coco chips, perlite, and charcoal. It gives the mix a nutrient boost while still keeping everything airy and well-draining. I love that it’s organic and natural — safe for my houseplants and perfect for giving them an extra kick of slow-release nutrition. My plants have responded really well so far, with healthier leaves and stronger growth. The bag size was perfect, exactly what I ordered. ✅ Why I love it: -Clean, high-quality worm castings -Blends easily into chunky soil mixes -Adds nutrients without compacting the soil -Organic and safe for houseplants -Great complement to coco chips, perlite, and charcoal ⚠️ Cons: -None — it’s exactly what I wanted Overall, this is an excellent soil enhancer and a must-have for anyone who mixes their own potting blends. It’s now a staple in my repotting routine. 🌿

Works great for growing sweet potatoes!
This was my first year growing sweet potatoes from slips. Apparently sweet potatoes grow best in nitrogen depleted soil so they can focus energy on root growth (i.e., the sweet potato itself, not the greens). I didn’t notice any smell to this bone meal. I applied 2 tablespoons around each slip at soil level roughly every 2 weeks and watered it in along with 1 tbsp all purpose fertilizer. I noticed beautiful sweet potato flower blooms that attracted all kinds of pollinators to my garden! The bees loved it! For my first year, I’m really happy with my harvest! I chose this specific bone meal product since the brand is well-known to me. Great quality, also it just happened to be a reasonable price. Win-win. I still have some left over for next year’s planting.

Really Helps my Plants
I love this brand and am a repeat customer. My vegetables especially my tomato plants love this stuff. I am currently growing several indoors and they love it. It comes in a 5lb bag which is a good amount. This is great addition to add to fertilizer regiment for plants. The quality is on par with other pricier brands.

Seems excellent
I put this around the rootball of a rose I was planting. The rose loved it and had a lot of good growth the first season in the ground. Put around the roots of some things I planted in the fall and they loved it too.

it does what it is supposed to do!
It's vermiculite and it does its job. It is uniform and easy to use. It's not terribly dusty, but you *should* wear a mask while using it so as not to inhale particles. It is low odor. I start seeds in it mostly, but I have also made a better potting soil by mixing in about 25% vermiculite. It helps avoid soil compaction and helps retain water for indoor plants. The size of the package is great! Not heavy at all. I think it was a decent value.

My plants loves this stuff .
Great on plants and I always use this when I transplant my plants into larger pots and also in the winter time. Every winter, I sprinkle just a small amount on top of the soil in each of my plants, to protect any roots that may be exposed and this helps when watering too, it seems to keep the water in place and gets slowly released down into the soil over due time. If that makes any sense. My plants do better when I sprinkle this but ...not a lot, just a little bit at a time.
