    I learned that worm casting will not burn your plants and that it supply nutrients to the roots and it help ward off pests in your garden. It makes your stems and leaves grow more hairs to keep insect away also the insects do not like the taste. I will be getting some of the tea as well as the casting to use in my containers as well as my raised bed. Thank you for the information.

    Am a first time gardener started this July 2021 zone 7b/NYC. I planted veggies and flowers in containers only and couldn’t have done it without watching your videos and reading your new book. I grew from your collections basil, cilantro, kale, lettuce and sugar snap peas and their doing amazingly. I am ready and can’t wait for spring as I started taking notes for my spring seedlings on how to start indoor with grow lights, water, the good fertilizer, replanting and caring until harvest (OMG the word harvest sounds exciting lol.

    Hi Kim this is Patricia from So Az. This video came at the right time for me. My 2 raised beds have been struggling so after watching the cover crop video I decided to give them a rest and plant cover crops. I was unsure of how to amend the soil and what products to use, but now I know. I learned that vermistera products help plants become resistant to pests and environmental stressors which is awesome. I also learned that you can use these products for your microgreens, which I just ordered from you. Your timing is spot on for me. Thanks for your videos and please keep them coming. See you on the Monday livestream 🥰

    Awesome videos. I learned you don’t need to stir the Solution in the water. When buying plants from the garden center dip the roots before planting. Excellent for heat, cold, and stress protection. Most important the clear and precise instructions on how much to use for the various stages of the plant growth. Thanks again for the informative video.

    I loved that it is not smelly, and more concentrated, and easy to use in containers, raised beds & lots of areas. I learnt that it can revitalize dying plants at the end of the season and increase the yield in gardens. Would love to try this. Also have been using Vermisterra tea & castings but that is bulky & messy & this seems so much simpler to use. Thanks fir this new product. Can’t wait to try it.

    I’m a container gardener and I struggle so much keeping the nutrients in my soil. My veggies won’t grow to a normal size.

    Hello Kim! Amazing, beneficial, and vital information from Mindy regarding earth worm castings and its beneficial improvements to the soil. I could tell a big difference in my raised garden beds this 2021 growing season by not having any. By not having worm castings as in prior years due to local store shortages; my garden grew slowly, had more insects, less water retention, and it was not as bountiful! I would love to win Vermisterra Vitality giveaway, no stir needed when added to water, for my vegetable gardens and fruit trees!
    My indoor seedlings of basil and microgreens will love it, too!

Now living in south Florida where the soil is sand and lacks all the nutrients I have been growing veggies in containers and one 4x8 raised bed using Promix as the base soil and will definitely be ordering and using Mindy's products, worm castings, tea and Vitality from her family business Vermisterra. Her products seem like they are the best option for amending the soil and feeding my plants.

    I love that VItality can help with plant problems...my plants are so stressed. I will also try them on my microgreens to boost their growth. I'll continue to use the worm tea and casting in my container gardening to keep those bugs away. Enjoyed the video

    Great video! I learned that worm castings can help plants deal with extremes in temperature, can help them become stronger to fight off pests and can boost the nutritional value of the plants you grow. Vitality sounds like another excellent product from Vermisterra and I will definitely be making it a permanent addition to my gardening tools.

I learned so much but the one thing that stands out is how worm castings and tea help to repel pests. I didn't know that. I also learned that there will be five lucky winners, lol.
