Wormganix has partnered with CHAP ( one of the Agri - Tech Centres ) to deliver an Innovate UK border - funded project running technological performance trial for their vermicompost- a multi - purpose fertiliser made of worm casting , setting a new standard for constitutive horticulture and commercial agriculture alike . Already boasting successful glasshouse trials with large commercial growers , the product is show to be a viable choice to chemical substance fertilizers .
Wormganix make up 100 % organically license fertilizer in a commercial wormery in West Yorkshire using a singular bio - conservation method . The wormery is not only peat - loose , but the louse themselves are kept as mini living processing works turning dissipation stream into mellow - quality compost . Unlike similar apparatus that either deal the insect to the sportfishing diligence , or wormeries that use peat , Wormganix focuses on draw quality . Remarkably , these castings are a ‘ living ’ product , teeming with beneficial bug , fungi , and bacterium that are all indispensable for a sound ground ecosystem .
high-pitched - quality compost forestry bark and recycled paper pulp are fed to worms which then transubstantiate this matter into productive , earthy vermicompost . The resulting mathematical product then undergo a punctilious double - sieving process . It act as a soil conditioner , designed to invigorate survive compost and create ‘ living soil , ’ rich in suggestion elements . Initial study read an increase in plant growth , improved soil aeration , enhanced moisture retentiveness , natural pest resistance , and disease protection .
Inside one of Stockbridge Technology Centre ’s ( STC ) glasshouse in Selby , carrying into action trials are being channel comparing the ontogeny of basil from seed and tomato from transplants in different growing media- peat - based compost , peat - costless compost and Wormganix fertiliser . plant will be tax for ten different parameter including size of it , colour , vigor , and weight .
look forward , Wormganix is exploring innovative ways to comprise reprocess materials , such as composition flesh from Veolia ( UK ) Ltd and coffee priming from Starbucks , into the wormery , raise the sustainability of the vermicomposting process . These efforts are part of larger trials with the UK ’s largest compost manufacturer and the Royal Horticultural Society ( RHS ) on their peat - loose modulation task , showcasing the company ’s purpose in shaping the future of eco - conscious agriculture .
