Our Friends the Worms : What Goes Into Good Soil…and Good Noni

We pride ourselves on our soil at Hawaiian Organic Noni.  Nutrient-dense soil means that the food grown in it will also be full of nutrients.  So we take the health of our soil very seriously.  We’ve spend years nurturing it, feeding it, and caring for it.  But we couldn’t have done it without our friends the worms.

What makes up good soil?

Science is just beginning to understand the full complexity of soil.  There are so many factors that go into determining the quality of soil:

• ·         Texture
• ·         Depth of topsoil
• ·         Water storage and drainage
• ·         Nutrient density (both macro and micronutrients)
• ·         Volume of air
• ·         Presence of living and decaying organic matter
• ·         (Aggregation) how well soil particles stick to each other. 

You can improve the quality of your soil in some surprisingly simple ways. 

Composting Returns Nutrients to the Soil

Composting improves soil’s texture, air flow, water storage, and nutrient density.

The basic process is simple: Mix yard and kitchen scraps in a big pile, soak it with water, and turn it frequently.  The only problem is, composting takes a long time, and turning the pile can be hard work.

Luckily, worms give us an easier way to make top-quality compost.

Vermicomposting for Soil Health

Worms are faster compost-makers than fungi and bacteria, and their castings – called black gold – are one of the best soil additives created by man or nature.

Vermicomposting is making compost using worms.  Most people do this in worm bins – Google it to get some idea of the many options – which keeps the worms from leaving, provides them with the shade they love, and helps keep them moist. 

You can either buy worms or collect them from your garden, but we recommend using local varieties so they can fill their natural ecological niches.

The only thing left to add is food for the worms!  

Here are some likes:

• ·         Most fruit and vegetable scraps
• ·         Bread and pasta
• ·         Tea leaves/bags and coffee grounds (worms love grit!)
• ·         Crushed/ground eggshells
• ·         Hair, tissues, paper, shredded egg cartons, etc.
• ·         Small amounts of lawn clippings, weeds, etc.
• ·         Sawdust

And some dislikes:

• ·         Highly acidic fruits
• ·         Spicy or pungent vegetables
• ·         Meat and dairy products
• ·         Shiny paper
• ·         Fats and oils

Feed them a little bit at a time (no more than the same volume of food as there are worms), only adding more food as it gets eaten.  Worms like to eat food that has just started to decompose, but which isn’t really yucky yet.

As the worms eat, they convert food into black gold.  Black gold looks like compost and should have very little smell.  Scatter the castings on your garden, mix them with potting soil, use them as mulch or fertilizer.  You can’t use too much – there’s no way for the castings to damage plants.

How We Use Worms

At Hawaiian Organic Noni, we keep indigenous earthworms in an area that we call the “Worm Hotel,” busily turning kitchen scraps into black gold.

We add the castings to our soil, where they deposit vital nutrients in a form that is easy for plants to absorb.  The noni trees love it, and produce more nutrient-dense fruit as a result of the more nutritious soil. 

How To Make Your Garden Worm-Friendly

You can also work on making your garden more worm-friendly, to naturally attract these hardworking creatures.  The key to attracting wild worms is to create a good habitat.

Here are some musts:

• ·         Create mulched areas, covered with leaves, grass clippings, or other materials
• ·         Keep the soil moist
• ·         Minimize the amount of digging and tilling you do
• ·        Keep your soil toxin-free

Wild worms will give your soil the same benefits as adding vermicompost you make in a worm bin, just slower and less concentrated. 

It’s definitely worth making the effort to attract worms to your garden, and it’s even more beneficial to vermicompost in worm bins.  We encourage you to give it a try!

What is it About Noni? The Surprising Benefits of Noni Fruit Leather

We live in a world of dozens of supplements.  Many people today live in fear that they aren’t getting everything the body needs to be healthy from their normal diet, and they’re searching for something to do about it.  But who can you trust?  How do you know what foods are really giving you the antioxidants and benefits you’re looking for?

Noni Fruit Leather is a time-tested, easy to use solution to many of the worries people have about health and nutrition.  It’s been shown to help maintain and support healthy cardiovascular and immune systems, lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels, stabilize blood sugar levels, and promote healthy joints and skin.  Eating Noni helps bring the body into balance by restoring bodily organs to their normal state, bringing you good digestion, hormonal balance, and relief from cardiovascular trouble.

How does Noni do all this?  The answer is simple.  Noni’s effectiveness comes from its exceptionally high concentration of antioxidants, including the potent phytochemical damnacanthal.  Eating Noni Fruit Leather allows those powerful antioxidants to get to work eliminating free radicals in the body.

In a recent blog here, we talked about Noni Fruit’s remarkably high ORAC value.  ORAC stands for oxygen radical absorbance capacity.  Incorporating a daily antioxidant therapy can even slow aging by preventing long-term memory loss, maintaining healthy skin, and preventing vision deterioration.

Noni Fruit is a solution that has been around for a long time.  It has been used for such diverse purposes as treating abrasions, aches, bruises, burns, and rashes, preventing immunity weakness, and treating bowel disorders.  When Noni first came on the market, it appeared in juice form.  However, because Noni juice is fermented and diluted, it is actually 14 times less effective than simply eating Noni Fruit Leather.

So, if you’re looking for an easy way to slow aging, restore your body, and protect yourself from infection, you might want to try Noni Fruit Leather, a true raw food that feeds the cells of the body.  Take ownership for your health now, and give Hawaiian Organic Noni a try today.

Noni Skin Health

Given the fact that many commercial skin care products contain harmful chemicals, it is not surprising that many people are turning to natural skin care options to not only solve common skin problems but also preventing them from occurring in the first place.

Noni skin care products are perhaps some of the most effective natural skin care products on the market. They are made from the noni fruit, a little known tropical fruit which grows on the South Sea Islands and has been used by islanders for hundreds of years to help scrapes and bruises, prevent sunburn, treat inflammation and swelling and more.

Noni lotion has a two-fold purpose: it cures skin problems and then protects the problems from reoccurring. It has been successfully used to treat eczema, acne, psoriasis and sunburns, as is evidenced by user testimonials from all over the world. It also protects the skin from sunburn, wrinkles, dermatitis and excessive dryness.

Noni health products can be safely used by anyone, including children, pregnant mothers, the elderly and those who are taking prescription medications for one or more health conditions. The lotion is easy to apply, does not cause stinging or discomfort and brings about lasting relief. In fact, it not only heals the skin but also soothes it, immediately relieving pain and discomfort.


If you are battling a skin condition or would simply like to improve your looks, soften your skin or get rid of wrinkles, then Noni lotion is for you. It is relatively affordable, effective and 100% good for you. Unlike other products that use only small quantities of this powerful fruit, the "Noni Skin Care" line is primarily made up of noni, thus ensuring that your skin gets the care it needs and you get your full money's worth from your purchase.

The Big W’s of Organic Farming: Hawaiian Organic Noni's Farming Practices

Every farmer and gardener knows that nutrient-rich soil produces bigger, stronger, healthier plants.  Using compost is one effective way to achieve nutrient-rich soil.  Research by Cornell University suggests that some kinds of compost, including vermicomposting, can even help control plant diseases and promote plant health. 

Worms and Recycled Waste
Vermicompost is a completely natural fertilizer made of recycled waste products, aided in decomposing by earthworms.  Waste can include manure and leftover plant matter.  Worms aid in the decomposing process, sorting out the nutrients and creating the matter for a rich soil.     

This kind of compost is not only completely organic, but it also prevents the original solid waste from ending up in landfills or entering waterways.  What better way to farm than to avoid harsh, synthetic chemicals and reduce waste while providing essential nutrients and protecting from disease?

The Hawaiian Organic Noni farm uses this sustainable method to enhance its soil and maintain the health of its noni plants.  In fact, the owner Steve Frailey, started organic farming in 1981. Those healthy noni plants produce the healthy noni fruits used in Noni Fruit Leather and all Noni Lotions.

Well Water
In addition to all-natural compost, the farm takes advantage of fresh well water.  Because it comes straight from underground springs and is not processed city water, it is extra fresh and straight from the earth’s own filtration system.  The wells collect the run-off from water used during farming and from rains, efficiently re-using it right on the spot.

Wind (and Solar) Energy
Running a farm takes a lot of energy—from electricity and from worker labor.  To fuel our electrical needs, the Hawaiian Organic Noni farm uses green energy from wind generators and solar panels.  The abundant sunshine fuels the pumps that pull all our fresh water from the wells, and the wind provides electricity for all other needs, including the dehydration system used to create Noni Fruit Leather. 

Natural, Organic Farming at Its Best
From farm to production, Hawaiian Organic Noni takes steps to ensure sustainability and organic purity. Therefore, when you use Hawaiian Organic Noni products, you can rest assured that you are getting only the purest products to ease your aches and pains, heal your body, and improve your health.

Noni Can Reduce Stress and the Subsequent Effects

Most people can relate to being stressed at some point or another, and it is no secret that stress can affect a person’s body and mind in countless ways.  Unfortunately, stressors can come in many forms such as workload, relationships with friends and co-workers, busy schedules, finances, illness, and family concerns.  The effects of stress are many, but the most common include:

•  High blood pressure
•  Frequent sickness
•  Irritability
•  Tension headaches
•  Neck and back aches
•  Stomach problems
• Trouble sleeping

According to the Centers for Disease Control, the best way to alleviate stress is simply to take care of oneself.  This includes eating a healthy and well-balanced diet, exercising regularly, sleeping enough, allowing breaks when necessary, and maintaining a normal routine.  By keeping stress at a low, manageable level, most health effects associated with it are eliminated.  

Keeping stress and its effects in check can be made even easier with the help of Hawaiian Organic Noni’s Fruit Leather.  It not only contributes to a healthy diet by providing a high concentration of powerful nutrients, but it can also help ease the other negative side effects of stress such as high blood pressure, sickness, irritability, and stomach problems. 

Although the use of noni fruit for its medicinal powers appears to date back for millennia, studies in the past 50 years indicate noni’s power in relieving high blood pressure.  It is so remarkable, in fact, that one doctor reported his own blood pressure decreasing from 185/110 to 150/90 in less than one day, adding that it continued to decrease to a healthy level over the following days. 

Historically, noni fruit was eaten raw to treat ailments like upset stomachs and other digestive problems.   Noni is even recognized as having been used as a home remedy for stomach ulcers and irritable bowel syndrome, revealing some of its healing power.  In addition to stomach problems, these records—and current testimonials—report the benefits of using noni fruit to help with moods, aches, and other pains, as well. 

Hawaiian Organic Noni products have the purest and most concentrated form of the fruit that has a long shelf life and requires no refrigeration.  Unlike other noni products, Hawaiian Organic Noni products are made from the nonfermented pulp of Noni in order to maintain all the enzymes and nutrients, and they come in a variety of forms— Noni lotions, Noni BioBandage, edible Noni Fruit Leather, and even a full line for pets.

To help relieve stress, include Hawaiian Organic Noni as part of your healthy diet and habits.  Noni Fruit Leather is a great way to help lower blood pressure, improve mood, and alleviate stomach problems.  Easing ailments can help ease stress, and calming the side effects of stress can help you get back to feeling great.
