Shelf stable organic fertilizer and related method of manufacture

Abstract

A method of creating shelf stable organic fertilizer includes obtaining a plurality of composting worms and supplying a food source to the worms to produce castings. The castings are dried and positioned within a porous membrane bag that is submerged into a water tank. Nutrients from the castings flows through the membrane bag and into the water to create a leachate. The leachate is extracted and purified to remove any remaining solid particulates. The leachate is then sterilized to kill the living microbes and spores of dormant beneficial microbes are added to the leachate. The leachate is then sealed within an airtight packaging. The resulting product is a shelf stable organic fertilizer having dormant microbes that reactivate when the packaging is ultimately opened and exposed to air.
