Tea Seed Meal - All Natural, Plant Safe (50 lb)

OH MY. I had an infestation of asian jumping worms in my backyard and in my gardents. Ive never seen anything like this. I hand tossed the product all over the yard and gardens just a day before a storm was coming. The next morning.........total worm annihilation. Hundreds if not more dead jumping worms everywhere. The price is worth it for me. My only sorrow is that this stuff kills all worms. Good ones and bad ones. So I will treat my land a few more times just to try to eradicate all asian worms then I will start the rebuilding process with good worms. Get this stuff before it gets out of hand.

...in under 24 hours. 50lb's covered 11k square feet perfectly - good little rain overnight, woke up to hundreds of 'results'. No more earthworm castings. Customer for life.

Bottom line: This stuff kills jumping worms. We have a major infestation and through handpicking, solarizing where feasible, and TSM, we have knocked it down to a somewhat manageable level from what was a garden horror story.. Some possibly helpful tips 1. If no rain in the forecast, repeat multiple light waterings if your soil has become hydrophobic. 2. wait 48 hours water again, the TSM did not all dissolve the first time. 3. It's expensive but you don't need much; hand spreader works great. I haven't seem any negative effects on veggies or plants but it's early days. TSM will be a regular part of my garden chores until they are declared a pest (which they 100% are) and something that kills the eggs becomes available. Until that time, it's going to be an ongoing battle.

I bought this to treat a jumping worm infestation in my compost pile and now in my raised garden beds. It definitely brings them to the surface, but they flee, and they move so quickly, I have been hand picking them and putting them in vinegar water to kill them. The regular earthworms are definitely killed, but they move slower, so they kind of steep in the mix of this and water. I have also noticed it seems to fertilize the areas I've used it in well, too. BUT, you need a lot to treat the worms, and it's too expensive! Wish they would bring the price down or get more sellers with the same product to compete for sales.

This is the best solution I have found to effectively kill the jumping worms that have plagued my gardens (2 acres). I had been manually picking them out from the soil which has been ridiculously time consuming and not very effective in the long run. Even the areas of my yard that I thought were okay because I had been vigilantly removing them all summer were still loaded with them as I saw when I used this product. I’m hopeful that after a couple years of applying it in the spring and late summer I will kill them before they lay their cocoons and eventually eradicate them for good! It is well worth the money when I think of the thousands of hours I have spent in the last few years trying to defeat them. It would be much nicer to use my time to actually plant and enjoy my gardens then continually pick worms out.

OK, So, we have tried a number of insecticides and caterpillar to kill the horrible Asian jumping worms. Nothing got rid of them. Every time it would rain, the worms would come out and get all in our pool. This went on for 3 years. Finally, I used this product 1 time and so far, it has rained several times and the worms appear to be gone. After the application, it rained the next day and there were a few worms in the pool. The next time only one worm in the pool and since then NO WORMS. To apply the tea seed I simply put the seed in a seed spreader and spread the seeds directly to the grass, shrubs and mulch surrounding the pool area. I got an extra bag just in case, but I have not had to use it so far. I am not sure that they are gone for good because we have a large property, but this stuff works!! BTW, we live in Florida so it is very warm climate for most of the year. I hope this helps.

Its not cheap, but its is very effective. I have been dealing with a jumping work issue for a while now. I had them infesting my garden beds and causing a bunch of issues with my soil. I was hand picking them but that took forever and i started to notice them in a lot of other places. So I saw this product as being effective. So I figured I would take the chance. I sprinkled about a solo cup fill over a 4x12 raised bed and watered it in really well. It took about 5 to 10 minutes and these things were all over the top of the soil all dying. I probably picked up a half of a gallon jug full just the first time walking around. I was surprised how well this worked. Now I turned the soil and added fresh compost. I am hoping after this treatment and one more it will knock them down or get rid of them completely. I fought to get anything to grow well this year in my garden. I hope this fixed it! It works well.

I order Planet Earth tea seed meal fertilizer often, but the bag I received a week ago was clumpy, damp and discolored, also it didn’t smell like the tea seed meal fertilizer I have previously purchased. This product is too expensive to not be the product it’s intended to be. I need to know how Amazon intends to correct this issue
