We are always working toward zero waste, with a goal of minimizing the impact on natural environment.
composts & castings
They’re not the same thing! Vermicompost (worm castings) is made by a slightly cooler process (mesophilic) than is (thermophilic) compost, yielding higher and more diverse microbial populations. And, as the temp is not high enough to release nitrogen, the castings keep a higher content of nitrogen than does compost.
Plants in pots, gardens & fields, lawns, shrubs, and trees all benefit from compost. It improves aeration and drainage in dense soils, and increases water-holding capacity and soil aggregation in loose, sandy soils. Compost encourages healthy root systems, which may suppress some plant diseases and pests.

About Soil & Soap
Raised with the forests, rocks & rivers of southern Missouri, I had a fairly dirty childhood. Dad was a soil scientist, and we spent a lot of time outside, learning about the flora & fauna, and what sustained them.
My parents loved and lived cycles of the earth, which developed in me a soul connection to natural, native principles. We always had a vegetable garden, and flower gardens, and house plants- mom has a knack for keeping green things alive. It was much later before I discovered the real "secret" of how soil truly sustains all life.
That's when I started getting serious about what goes into my body, and my child's body, and realized that food produced is dependent upon soil health & quality.
