Direct application or a worm tea spray improves overall plant health by improving soil structure and water retention, encouraging vigorous root growth, and adding beneficial microorganisms to the soil.
how it's made
- Worms are housed in an indoor, climate-controlled building.
- Their sustainable diet includes local plant-based food waste, farm crop waste, and local yard debris.
- All material is pre-composted until it meets rigorous PFRP standards (Process to Further Reduce Pathogens), ensuring weed seeds and pathogens are inactivated.
