- John from www.growingyour... shares with you the one organic fertilizer that can improve yields by up to 400%. In this video you will learn about the power of worm castings and how it can improve yield of fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, herbs growing in your garden. You will also discover that not ALL worm castings are created equal. You will discover how root growth can be improved by using worm gold plus worm castings that is made in a special way to maximize yields should you be growing fruits, vegetables or herbs. Later in the episode, John will interview worm casting expert, George Hahn and asks him some questions so you can learn what makes some worm castings better than others and How you can get the best worm castings.

Well after watching John for about a year or so i finally got off my butt and built a planter bed. It is in a U-shape and it is 24" high and 14' on the legs of the U and 16' on the longest middle part. I honestly have learned so much from John that my wife thinks I'm obsessed with the gardening thing as of late. I spent a lot of money on the Planter Bed but so far it appears that all our vegetables are growing. We used the Compost, Peat Moss, and Vermiculite recipe. It was a lot of work because of mixing all 3 by hand it is a workout. Thank You John for all your information and time to let us newbies know all the things that people pay great money on books for and the information they give is not very good.
Wow. My gardening just levelled thanks to George's knowledge and John perseverance. Thank you.
Worm castings are definitely a bonus to any soil. You do get what you put into them though. Feed the worms paper and you get empty worthless castings. Feed them rich raw organic matter and you get ungodly perfect castings.
Feed your Worms Azomite as Grit. Trust me on this.
John, Thank you for the info on Worm castings and the interview with George.
I'm learning so much thank you..
Nice work on your channel. You've provided me with a lot of good ideas and have been a very educational resource. It took a few videos, but you grew on me. I appreciate all that you're doing and look forward to seeing more.
We sure learn much from you and your network of experts...our worm compost will be healthier after today!
I fill my worm bin with cardboard and Peat as bedding before adding food scraps on top. Also feed them garden waste such as snap bean waste, peelings (not potatoes) and a variety of green material. Neem meal is also added in small amounts, going to give them some crab shells because I use them in the garden anyway.
I always wonder what kind of conversations they have after John makes the videos. I bet there is 10 times more knowledge in those 20 minutes than a video! Im proud to have John Kohler as my representative in the organic markets, and you should be too!
Also I think the biggest takeaway is how he mentioned using chitin; online there is a lot of debate on that. If I were to distill this to the most absolute facts, if you use good plants and good shelled seafood scraps / bugs, you should have super castings.
Thanks for the video John, as always I love the info it but I do have a question though, for the results mentioned in this video what ratio of worm castings to soil used?
It may seem like a simple question but me and i'm sure others need to know so we can determine how much we have to buy for our container gardens, raised beds or otherwise. Thanks again for the great info. :)
so throw in a few locusts, june bugs and card board...ok. Cellulose could be leaves? How about a test to see if this worm gold plus does 400% better than without it?
Aphids are attracted to simple Nitrogen. Worms eat Nitrogen (coffee grounds) and produce chelated nitrogen as amino acids. This allows the plant to produce peptides, proteins and fats.Insects including aphids can only eat incomplete proteins and nitrates.
I found this brand of worm castings is sold at my local ace hardware store. It's costly but cheaper than buying online for about 20 dollars.
Anybody want to speculate how much chitin to add to the worm bin? Seems to me if you use the chitin found in John's previous episode "This Low Cost Organic Fertilizer That Makes Your Plants Go Wild" you're on your way to increasing those recycling engines.
awesome video john but when you have a guest you are interviewing can you please let him say something for the short 30-45 sec that you are introing because it just feels weird with them sitting there staring at the camera
ore change the angel that john is sitting, a good option would be next to the Camera while guest is infront of camera. that way the quest wont have to turn to the camara.
Money Million i know huh....John is just trying to get Some On Camera Time!! lol this Interview was kinda Awkward!! lol... but Very Informative!!!! Thanks John
John great video as always. Worm casting in plastic bags the microbes are dead from suffocation , there's no benefit
I live in Japan he mentioned so much, cant buy it at all John anywhere, if you know where please let me know, cheers
Since I watched this video when it first aired, I got a Worm Factory 360 and started making worm castings. For bedding I use, homemade compost, peat moss, ground up leaves from the yard, coffee grounds, tea leaves, shredded newspaper, and dryer lint. To the bedding I've added kelp meal, shrimp shell, and rock dust. I feed them all kinds of vegetable scraps that I let get funky in a coffee can, lined with a produce bag from the store, that I puree in a food processor. As John would say, "This is some high quality chit man!"
Great video!
Thank U John, ur the best! Great info! I have to fence in my chickens to keep them from eating my worms after I turn the soil in my garden. I encourage the worms to come TO my garden. If you build it "right" they will come :) LOL!! They LOVE maple leaves!
Kinda funny video watching your guest. Good information John, as usual, thanks for sharing and all the work u do to make all these videos.
I watched this 2 years ago and I didn’t understand it then and I’m still having trouble. This guy is light years ahead of any of the people I watch on RUclips. I’m going to watch it 10 more times and see if I can figure out what the hell he’s talking about.
Right? I have adapted his soil formula as best I can. I’m feeling good about the garden this year. 😎
just tried to buy some but it wont let u place the order yet :/
John! Learn Organic Gardening at GrowingYourGreens Can I simply top dress this?? I have an apple tree and an olive tree in coco coir. I need to start adding nutrients and this seems perfect! Will it still be effective as a top dress or do I need to work into the soil?? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hope this meets you in good health.

yeah but he's telling the truth his castings test the most microbial active. Organics is all about the Micro life my friend.
Except you can put (and breed - very fast) your own microbes in your soil lol, either buy a blend or harvest some yourself - go to a forest and pick a leaf mold from several locations, under the oldest trees. Most rich and diverse microbe blend...
put down cardboard (cellulose) over your beds in the fall and the worms will spend the winter eating it and leaving their castings behind...free
Can we buy this Worm Gold Plus Locally (Santa Rosa CA )
Great information as always. I don't mind the commercial / advertising too much so long as it is balanced with some good info and John's passion for gardening.
So us GYG fans get a whole 50 cent discount for watching GYG. Woohooo......
don't under stand the technical terms but the process,, could have been a little less scientific and more common terms that we may know more of what to look for in the products we may have handy that we can use to grow our own worm casting
I would love to talk soil, plants, compost, blah, blah, blah with this dude.
Is this the poor guy that got sued for 100,000.00 because he didn't register the Worm Castings as a Pesticide? I just typed in his name and found an article on him. I guess the government wants control of everything. He seems very smart! Great guest John. Thanks for sharing him with us.
Worm Gold Plus is people!
oh. my english is not that good to understand that scientific stuff. -.o
Thank you for the awesome video, I use that stuff too on mi Pitayas/ Dragon fruit Cactus.. :)
Although I respect Johns informative outlook on worm castings I disagree with him on soil biology and plants nutrient uptake through their roots. The biology that he is referring to is what decomposes organic matter in soil (which he never mentions decomposition) which makes the nutrients in that organic matter available in the soil. Available to plants in what is referred to as a solution. That is that the nutrients dissolve in water that then feeds the plant. Plants do however have a symbiotic relationship with fungi (mycorrhizal) in which the fungi aides in the plants nutrient uptake (because plants root hairs are so fine and fragile they are not very effective) as well as water uptake through its vast hair like network. There are also bacteria/plant symbiotic relationships mainly in the Legume family (nitrogen fixers).
But all in all I am not saying I don't believe in the product I'm just saying I think if you are going to be this involved in horticulture you should do your homework. I'm an environmental landscape management major and I just took a soil biology class and "John" is doing a poor job of explaining the "facts"......
James Clark John's a back yard gardener, he knows enough I'd say and he does interview the seller.
Hi there. What's the purpose of the "John" you typed in quotes? So you're saying that's not his name? Haha... Please don't be petty; this is a positive place. Your comment starts off with the pretense that you are being respectful, which quickly deteriorates, and it's clear that you probably want to brag a little about what all you "know" because you "just took a class." John is very successful at what he does and his channel has helped so many. He retains a personal garden superbly and inspires others to do so as well. As the other comment says here, he conducts an interview as well for additional info. There's no problem with this video. What he shares makes sense, whether any terminology is exactly precise & whatnot. For example, I understood your comment perfectly fine, but should I tear it down because of possible grammar mistakes, etc? That changes nothing about the info shared. If viewers choose to dig in, they can research and find out further info. Not one human being is going to be 100% right about everything 100% of the time.
I never thought about adding some of the worm feed materials mentioned in this video. I will defiantly give it a try, plus I get to eat more shrimp. Gentlemen, start your worm engines. LOL! :-)
I wonder if Dust Bunnies count as hair clippings? If so, I probably have a pretty good harvest of worm feed ready to go. I can re-purpose my spring cleaning efforts for the garden. LOL!
Other good things to add to your worm farm to create quality castings include coffee grounds, tea leaves, crushed eggshells (source of calcium, microwave them first), banana peel (potassium) & sand (just a bit). Avoid fats & proteins. George is confusing chitin (a polysaccharide) with keratin (a protein) when he tells you to add hair & nail clippings to your worm bin. Chitin is not found in hair & nails, but keratin is. Keratin is a protein & is probably not a good thing to give to your worms. Chitin is found in exoskeletons of crustaceans & insects. Chitin is also found in the cell walls of fungi. Chitin is a polysaccharide, like cellulose, & it can be broken down into a glucose derivative called N-acetylglucosamine (NAG, for short). NAG can be further broken down by soil microorganisms into acetate, glucose, & an amino group (-NH2), which can then be absorbed by the plants. Worm castings (& worms) will help make all the nutrients present in the soil available to your plants.
Cryptopolis Thank YOU.For the detailed info. I don't think he was confused between those 2. I am sure he meant add Chitin and Keratin while not confusing those two. But you gave the best explanation what Chitin does in the soil. Thank you again.
KALSINFILMS You're welcome. :-) You're right, chitin is beneficial to the soil & plants. In fact, I think I've seen some commercially prepared compost mixes that include shrimp exoskeletons as a source of chitin. It takes a while to break down into the useful components though. Keratin will eventually break down into amino acids, which are also useful for plants, but take much longer to break down.
so the idea is just like us, you need variety, all of one thing(manure OR landscape trimmings) won't give you all the variety you need
hey hey! Have you heard about Skavel Mushroom Growing For Newbies (just google it)? Ive read some super feedback about it and my BF achieved good results with it.
Great video John!!!!!
I have a question for the community!!!!!
I am growing sunflower sprouts at home and I need to know!!!!
Should have holes in the bottom for air/water run-off.?
Thx in advance to all who respond.
What I'm going to do in my vegge garden is put a bird bath and a bird feeder in. I'm also planting herbs. I'm learning much from you. Thank you very much. I live in Missouri. I'm getting a wide range of different vegetables and herbs to plant in my garden.
Great video, thanks John. I have been watching your videos for about 2 months now from way down here in New Zealand. I have a worm farm that is doing real well, plus I use kelp (we live next to the sea) in my compost... but should I put kelp in the worm farm? I have learnt so much from you and am about to start making a heap of raised beds in the next few days.. love juicing, and really passionate about growing more greens!! :)
Subsequently to this video, John tested this Worm Gold against Organic Solutions. The latter won hands down. About a month ago John made a video showing how Organic Solutions made their worm castings.
Hey John, what does your diet consist of primarily? I really appreciate all the work you put into the channel. You have given many people a kickstart to get out there and garden.
John, I have only recently discovered you and your very informative videos. You have become my go to guy on many subjects because I can tell you have done your research. I learned of chitinase at a baker creek heirloom festival in Missouri a few weeks ago. This is truly breakthrough technology! Can you tell me about how much chitin to organic "others" by volume I should be using for best results?
$40 is kinda pricey, id rather throw worms in there, or go to my local hydro shop and get it for $15
Thanks John.... I for one APPRECIATE you sharing information on different products on the market.... I'm sure you'll get rants in the comments of people complaining about these types of videos. However, I know that nothing is being "forced" to be purchased. You always do a great job about educating the products on the market, and I thank you for that. Hope you have a good day
brown nose
+Martin Lyngby LOL, if you say so :) $10 says someone will complain and rant as they always do in these types of videos
I was hoping to get some good advice. Regarding what KIND of fertilizer to use not what brand. This video told me nothing. Good luck finding your ten bucks. You're not getting any from me.
Martin Lyngby
The title of the episode is Improve Your Garden Yields 400% with *THIS* Organic Fertilizer.
The fertilizer is worm castings. What is so hard to understand about that?
Martin Lyngby If he told you what kind of fertilizers to use wouldn't that be a commercial also for those products? In the end he says to use a worm castings with some rock dust thrown in there. He lets you know he uses this brand but its up to you if you buy it or find a different one. They even tell you in the end what to feed your own worm at home to get the best possible results.
The seaweed is what produces the root growth. He can better it by adding Humic acid!! Those three is the TRIFECTA!!
Reality TV Clips I agree humics are very benifical for plants but the worm castings contain nutrients as well as fungi/bacteria, that biology then "mines" nutrients from the rock dust. Your plants roots are putting out exudates from their roots which feeds the benifical biology. A healthy plant is the key and a healthy plant has healthy roots and soil.
Great inspiration, John!
Great video cheers!!
Wow, very knowledgeable guest. Fantastic video. Really learned a lot! Thank you!
Are the dry worm castings as beneficial as the moist 'home grown' fresh worm castings?
I've often wondered this myself. I assume that the micros become dormant, but I try not to find out :)

2:30 the middle pot in the pic is closer to viewer eyes to look bigger
What is the life expectancies of worm castings if you live in cold climate areas ?
wow🌱♻🍀😃💡🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Thank you🏆🎬😇
Wow
Thanks so much for all the advice and support
This was really interesting & informative. I wonder if you add seafood scraps if you should grind it up first and if not how long it would take to compost.
I handle seafood scraps (shells) in a couple ways. The first is to bokashi compost them (see Bryan McGrath's channel for more info), then when it's ready, simply bury it. The second way is to dry it out, then roast it slowly for a few hours in a BBQ (stinks!), then when it's dry, I grind it up (with a blender) into a powder (as I do with egg shells). When I feed my worms, I simply sprinkle the stuff over the surface.
Ah - sounds good. I will check out the bokashi compost. Roasting does sound like it would be stinky! Thank you for the info *****
If you don't want to bother processing the shells yourself you can buy something called shimp meal or crab meal that has already been processed for you.
Down To Earth makes Crab Meal and Neptune's Harvest makes Shrimp Meal
There might be other companies but those are the two I know
This gorge dudes got the charisma of a rock. Like dude were u pissed off ?
thanks, one of my favorite videos yet
wow🌱♻🍀😃💡🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Thank you🏆🎬
Appreciate the knowledge
Applause ! Good Show !!
You are such an inspiration! Thank you!
Because of a disability, I thought that I would never be able to grow any of my own food but you kept saying to start, no matter how small, you kept encouraging people to try different things until they found something that worked for them.
Because of your enthusiasm, I decided to try to grow some tomatoes and herbs in 2 potting mix bags. In just 2 months I have been able to pick basil, rosemary, sage, lavender and mint a few times.
There are tiny tomatoes on the 4 tomato plants and I should be able to pick some in a couple of weeks.
I cut the holes in the bag just big enough to put the plants down in, that has kept the weeds and the stray cats out, it also hold the moisture in so that I only have to water them once a week which is a big deal for me since going down the front stairs is a danger.
The holes I poked in the bottom of the bags seems to be just enough drainage to keep the bags from filling up during the rain.
Thank you again, I am really enjoying cooking with fresh herbs and a nice cup of mint tea.
My wife loves cooking with fresh herbs it makes such a difference in taste. Glad your garden is working out for you and be careful on those stairs.
I have a very bad back and thought the same, so last fall I built (over a month) a 2 foot high raised bed and now have tomatoes, turnips, peppers, kale, arugula, and more and it is soooo fun to grow now that everything grows well using his instructions. My mom grew up a father's daughter and had no idea what I was doing, haha, now she doesn't say and word and just watches how they grow and how healthy they are, meanwhile I barely have to bend over to do anything :) :)
Oh and how many bags of Worm Gold per sq ft of garden ? Thank you
Recommended application: Use approximately 1lb of Worm Gold Plus for each 5 to 10 square feet of garden-space. (Apply at a rate of 10% to 20% of cubic soil-volume).
that can get expensive you might want to just start a worm farm... veryhuman111 its not that hard and you can get better results than worm gold plus.... because you are not making it on a huge commercial level. You can have much more biodiversity. The quality will be great if you feed them veg scraps and rabbit manure... You can also PH buffer with azomite I think... even if not its great to add... You also can put leaves in thier and get yout leaf mold... really it works great... All of the things that you need for gardening is free technically speaking If you use worm compost it works phenominal... Yes his castings work great Im sure... sounds like a great sales pitch... Just start a worm farm bro unless you want to fork over loads of cash... The azomite is extremely pricy as well ... on a large scale another solution is needed because people cannot afford the material. Compost worm castings and some garden lime... works great... amend later with some $10 organic ferts espoma has good ones... contains bone meal and things like that. with the NPK... Also I like doing foliar sprays with kelp... works great for tomatoes and many others and has micro nutrient... Much less expensive at big box store... is it cold pressed? Not sure but it seems to work... Finnally, not only will you have an endless supply of castings for tea and all that but also adding castings directly to the garden adds worm cacoons to your garden which become worms... ( more natural) These castings here have no cacoons... Sometimes I toss a pile of castings and worms right into the garden...
Learn Organic Gardening at GrowingYourGreens That would be like 300 lbs lol
+Gardening Secrets Revealed we sell in bulk so you can buy from worm gold
Gardening Secrets Revealed I totally agree with you. Take the power back and raise your own. It's stupid easy anyway
cool
wow🌱♻🍀Thank you😇
Thanks John!
Thank you John, could you ask him to get on Amazon Prime? That would be fantastic, no shipping!
BTW this year my garden looks better than I have ever ever had ALL DUE TO YOU!!!! . I try to follow your advice the best I can and it WORKS!! I want to Grow My Own Greens!! Thank you so much for your wonderful advice! Gardening is fun again, and you are right, KALE tastes TOTALLY DIFFERENT when it is fresh, I could not believe it!!!!!!
Worm casts, rock dust and Seaweed... its a winning combo in compost/pots. I also like to mix in Insect Frass, Biochar and Neem Cake too. I liquid feed Orthosilicic Acid or Humic Acids along side Yukka Extract. Always inoculate your plants with benifical fungi/bacteria too.
400% 🤦 😂
