Organic Nutrients
At Van Zelst, we want to create landscapes that are healthy for plants and people. That’s why, as part of our organic solutions, we proudly offer high-quality soil amendments made by nature’s marvels—worms.
Our teams rely on TerraVesco Vermicompost and TerraVesco Vermi-extract soil amendments. Under carefully controlled conditions, worm beds transform organic matter into weed- and disease-free Vermicompost that can be mixed directly into the soil and Vermi-extract that can be sprayed throughout the season. Research proves that these high-performance products introduce important macro- and micronutrients into the soil, nourishing plants and fighting disease and pests.
Farmers, greenhouses and winemakers have been using worm-based products for years with great success. Now they’re available to homeowners who prefer to use organic nutrients, rather than chemicals, on their properties.
Four Steps to a Healthier Landscape: The Soil Transition Protocol™
Based on the latest scientific research, this process consists of:
- Data Gathering. We begin by taking samples of plant materials and the soil, measuring available water and drainage, seeking evidence of pest and disease pressure, and more.
- Soil Analysis. Lab testing of the nutrient status of plants and soil, soil composition, and the presence of harmful contaminants is carefully performed.
- Treatment Application. Precise amounts of high-quality Vermicompost is incorporated into the soil and Vermi-extract is sprayed to enhance soil biodiversity.
- Ongoing Management. After the initial application, monitoring and maintenance continue to ensure optimum soil health.
