RAPHA-groW™

We are very proud to have experience and a background in vermiculture since 1979, making us the Leaders in Vermi-technology. At Vermiculture Africa we only use True Earthworms to produce Vermi-cast of the highest Quality.

We use the Vermi-cast so produced in all our Products.

As the earthworms ingest organic material, they also happen to eat the tiny microbes feeding on the same matter. But rather than eliminating the microbes, the secretion of enzymes in the gut of the earthworm causes an increase in these microbes, up to +1000 times in some cases. Then the earthworms produce nutrient-dense, microbially-rich castings. By applying this Vermi-technology and introducing it into our products, plants will increase their yield and the quality of the produce will be as Nature intended. HEALTHIER PLANTS and HEALTHIER CROPS In so doing they increase biodiversity and the concentration of microbes.

When RAPHA-groW™ Organic Soil Conditioner is applied signal molecules are stimulated which in turn restore MICROBES in the Rhizosphere root system of the plant, which stimulates the symbiotic relationship between the plant and the Micro-organisms. In doing so, the NUTRIENTS which are released during this Symbiotic relationship are then available in a form which the plant can then readily absorb. Thereby increasing Plant Growth which results in higher yields.

For the best Quality Assurance, we make use of the HIGHEST QUALITY INGREDIENTS during the production phase.

We undertake regular microscopic reviews by independent laboratories to ensure that RAPHA-groW™ conform to the HIGHEST quality.

RAPHA-groW™ 100’s Impact on the Rhizosphere

The rhizosphere is a dynamic environment where plant roots interact with soil microorganisms, organic matter, and nutrients.
RAPHA-groW™ 100 contributes positively to this ecosystem by:

  • Enhancing Soil Structure:
    The organic matter from earthworm castings improves soil aggregation, leading to better aeration and water retention.

  • Increasing Nutrient Exchange Capacity:
    Organic materials increase cation exchange capacity (CEC), allowing soils to hold onto essential nutrients more effectively.

  • Facilitating Symbiotic Relationships:
    The beneficial microbes introduced through RAPHA-groW™ 100 can promote symbiotic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi, further enhancing nutrient uptake.

  • Creating a Favorable Environment for Plant Growth:
    Overall improvements in soil health foster a more favorable environment for plant growth, leading to healthier gardens with vibrant flowers.

Why you should use RAPHA-groW™

A Glimpse into It’s Wonders 8 Compelling Reasons to Embrace RAPHA-groW™
