COCOONS

Worm cocoons
are an economical way to add earthworms to your garden, compost pile,
worm box, or lawn. Earthworms
play an important role in the creation of healthy, productive soils.
They feed on organic matter, leaving behind rich manure or
“castings” that provide readily available nutrients for plants. As they burrow through the soil, they leave behind tunnels
that open up passageways for air and water.
The soil becomes loose, porous, and unsurpassed in fertility.
The worm cocoons are shipped in a moist medium of peat soil mix.
The cocoons are opaque, oval-shaped to a small point at each
end, and very small, not much bigger than 1/8” in diameter.
Because the cocoons are moist, the soil particles will stick to
them making them look like the particles of dirt.
They will be difficult, if not impossible to see.
Keep the cocoons in the plastic bag of moist medium until you
are ready to introduce them to the garden or compost.
For best results, use your cocoons as soon as possible.
Worm cocoons can be introduced into your garden or compost at
any time of the year, however the best time to introduce worm cocoons
outside is during the warmth of spring and summer.
Adding cocoons to your compost pile or worm bin is simple.
Simply dig down a few inches and dump them in! Keep them warm and damp (not soggy wet).
Your cocoons will start to hatch out in 2 to 3 weeks at 70 to
80 degree temp.
Adding cocoons to your garden is also simple.
Scatter the worm cocoons and medium over the top of the soil
and gently rake them into the top 2-3 inches of soil.
Water the soil thoroughly and keep it moist.
Adding a layer of mulch will help to keep the cocoons moist and
warm plus, provides food for the young worms.
