Worm Fertilizer - Make Your Own
Those of us who have the inclination can make our own earthworm castings fertilizer fairly easily.
Simply fill a worm bin (home made or "store bought") with suitable worm bedding that has been moistened. Add a pound or two (according to the amount of kitchen waste and organic waste your family creates) of red worms and/or European night crawlers to the worm bin.
Feed these earthworms finely chopped, moistened food and organic matter. The worms gladly convert it all into rich vermi-compost filled with earthworm castings.
