Frequently asked questions

• What is Atami Worm Delight and what is it for?

  Atami Worm Delight is an organic worm humus with more than 65% organic matter, pH 7 and EC 2. It supplies slow-release nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium along with live beneficial bacteria and fungi. It is used to build a living, active soil that improves the feeding, resilience and size of your plants.

• How do I mix Worm Delight with the substrate?

  Mix Worm Delight in at 25% of the total substrate; the remaining 75% can be any base substrate. Stir the mix thoroughly before filling the pot and water as usual to activate the microorganisms.

• Do I have to add fertiliser if I use this worm humus?

  Not in the first few weeks: its prolonged supply of nutrients means you need no extra fertiliser at the start. To boost results in later stages, you can combine it with Atami's organic fertilisers.

• Is there a risk of over-fertilising the plants?

  No, because the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium it contains are slow release. The nutrients are released gradually, so the plants feed steadily with no risk of over-fertilisation.

• What benefits will I notice in my plants?

  It improves the structure of the substrate, giving better aeration and stronger root development. It also increases the weight of the fruit, promotes abundant flower production and, thanks to its high nitrogen content, produces thicker, sturdier trunks and stems.

• What do the live bacteria and fungi it contains contribute?

  The live beneficial microorganisms make the soil more active and productive. Thanks to them, the plants feed better and gain in resilience and size, creating a living ecosystem in the pot.
