What Drives Us & Why the Worm?

The Humble Worm & Soil Health

The essential minerals that we rely on for our well-being, our body can’t make them on its own, it must get them from our food. The thing is our food can’t make them either, it must get them from the soil.


Food that is grown from nutrient dense soil has a far higher nutrient value to the body that consumes it.

Increase in synthetic fertiliser prices, interest in regenerative agriculture and a heightened awareness of the connection to soil, plant, animal and human health has created an increased demand and interest for organic compost and fertilisers. 


It's time to minimise the soil hangover, put the Waste Engineers, the humble worm, to work and expect clean, nutrient dense food grown from nutrient dense soils.
