Has anyone had any results using live worms and/or worm castings in window boxes and/or containers. We are considering adding this Hooks and Lattice product to the Window Box Store website as well and I wanted to get some real gardeners feedback.


On the Hooks and Lattice website it says: The Best Fertilizer for Your Containers – Worms!

“ Worms ?” you ask. Yes, plus worm castings and teas! If your container garden doesn’t fill out and look as great as those pictured on our site or in magazines, you probably aren’t fertilizing well – worm castings and other worm fertilizers are an easy and organic solution.

Flowers bloom better and colorful leaves look their best when fertilized. Container gardens need more fertilizer than in the ground, because nutrients wash down and eventually out when you water.

Many of us find it hard to remember and stick to regular fertilization.

Hooks and Lattice to the rescue! With worms and worm castings, you need to fertilize your container gardens only once a year in cold climates. In warm climates, worms may mean you only need to fertilize once every four years! And nothing is more organic or effective than worm castings and worms.

I'm looking forward to everyones feedback.
