Is this good to put on an organic garden that has cutworms? And then leave the nutrients in the vegetation safe and edible.

I used it on my tomato plants last year. Food grade is a higher grade, safe enough for gardens and pets.

This is completely safe and food grade, the only thing you have to worry about is inhaling it. If you inhale too much of the silica you will get silicosis of the lungs which can be fatal.

I haven't used it in a garden. However, they say it's a good insecticide and it's a staple of organic gardening. It is food grade, which means it's edible and safe.

I know its good for many bugs but not for all. It will kill bedbugs, but heard fleas... not so much. And yes, Food Grade is safe for human and animal... and research all the many other uses it has for cleaning and eating for many health benefits.

No, it's not technically organic. But that does not mean it's bad, unless you're trying to maintain an organic grower status. I highly recommend the book "The Intelligent Gardener," by Steve Solomon for a no-nonsense overview of organic methods supplemented with use of fertilizers. http://www.amazon.com/The-Intelligent-Gardener-Growing-Nutrient/dp/0865717184

Hello! I assume so! They're green and brown! Super for making compost! I would think worms like to eat my greens and grass is just that. Shredded leaves and small cut up things are best! Please read "Worms Eat My Garbage". Happy Farming! Love. Peace. Gratitude. Kindness. Christina

I would just scoop those eggs sacs out of the bag and discard them. You will probably always get something like that in soil, sort of the nature of things. I used the soil immediately and had no problem, but the half bag I had leftover definitely has a whole ecosystem in it. I would not use the leftover for indoor plants, but outdoor I wouldn't mind.

I bought 2 of these 4 months ago, I bought 1000 starter red worms and now have enough to start the second farm. I also have chickens and some day when I have extra worms, they may get a snack. I bought the 2 farms for the castings and the worm tea for my vegetables. Last summer a friend gave me some tea when my veggies weren't doing well. My garden thrived on the tea and chickens got fresh veggies. Jr at gameing_nm@yahoo.com

I am not sure if it is harmful to plants. I would take a look at diatomaceous earth food grade to protect your plants and or garden vegetation. Check out this video I believe it will be a great help to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttv7YFfMnRE

Yes, I used it in my organic vegetable garden--and it worked! The active ingredient is castor oil, and the rest is sawdust, granite, and corn starch.

yes you can use it for compost,i do .i use it in my potatoe patch with the manure,works great the pellets that haven't broken down will help to slowly spread out the urine and phosphates so there is virtually no smell at all.it is untreated and all natural,so you can use it in your organic food gardens.makes great compost.

Yes, it would not hurt the composter. Although you would want to turn it gently so as not to hurt the worms.

great for tea. I'd throw in some worm castings or compost as well at least. I sometimes make teas with a long list of ingredients, depending on what I'm using it for.

I've been gardening for 40 years and we all wish there was a systemic for edible plants. Unfortunately, there isn't. Fight your bugs with Neem Oil. That's what I use and it works pretty well. It also works on fungi. You can try insecticidal soap. Go to the website for MotherEarth.com and ask them for help. Nobody knows more about organic stuff for edibles than they do.

Perfectly safe. These aren't the same types of worms that infect your animals. They only go after the insects in your soil.

Dear Elizabeth,Thank you for writing. Since oleander is highly toxic to humans and animals, you should not add it to your compost pile. It is also unsafe to burn it. You may wish to contact your local Cooperative Extension Service for advice on safe disposal of oleander.

Agree with Charles. The more life and decay you see in the bin, the better. All these critters are breaking down the organic material into rich compost. They help bring the nutrition back into a usable form of energy for plants. Eventually, you will not want the slugs, but for now, I don't see why not.

I don't know that it would be organic but it is considered a safe insecticide when considering toxic chemicals. It is an organism from the ground and I don't know if they do anything special to the ground that it comes from or if it is even grown in earth for manufacturing purposes. It is used in organic farming.
