Here at Wormi Vermi, we’re big fans of gardening and everything natural. We love being able to work with nature to create a thriving garden that grows lots of healthy fruit and veg – all the while helping to reduce our carbon footprint.
Composting is more than just recycling food and organic waste – it’s about adding biology back into the soil. Did you know that every teaspoon of healthy soil contains more bacteria than there are humans on the planet! Not to mention the fungi, protozoa, and nematodes all living in this mysterious world beneath our feet, a world that we never think about yet is so important to our survival.
To function properly, the soil needs the help of this array of life forms. Everything from bacteria and fungi to earthworms and millipedes helps to form the food web that allows the soil to play the key role it does. If anyone of these key players is missing or too abundant then the whole web is thrown out of sync, leading to stressed and sick plants that are easily attacked by pathogens and pests.
If we treat the earth and soil with care, then we’ll have no need for weedkillers, insecticide sprays, or artificial fertilisers. Through the raw power of nature, we can make our gardens and countryside thrive with vibrant diversity.
At Wormi Vermi, we want to help you help the planet. We’ll give you advice on all things composting, and all the tools you need to do it right.
Nutrient-rich, high-quality compost is made from a carefully selected blend of organic materials that have been expertly transformed into a dark, crumbly, and odorless soil amendment. Ideal for gardens, lawns, and potted plants, our compost improves soil health and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers.
Our composting worms are a mixture of species Eisenia Fetida and Dendrobaena Veneta selected for their composting ability. These worms are fast breeders, they mature in a few months and can lay a cocoon every few weeks that can contain multiple little wiggly worms.

Composting is the process of breaking down organic waste into a nutrient-rich soil amendment. It’s important because it diverts waste from landfills, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and provides a sustainable source of soil nutrients.
Most organic materials can be composted, including food scraps, yard waste, and certain types of paper products. However, there are some materials, such as meat and dairy products, that should be avoided due to the risk of attracting pests and producing odors.
Composting adds nutrients to the soil and improves soil structure, water retention, and overall soil health. It also helps to reduce the need for chemical fertilizers and promotes beneficial microorganisms that support plant growth.
Worms play an important role in composting by breaking down organic material and creating nutrient-rich worm castings, which are highly beneficial to plants.
Yes, compost can be used for indoor plants, but it’s important to ensure that the compost is free from contaminants and has been properly aged to avoid potential odor issues.
