Worm castings are the nutrient-rich, microbially active material produced by earthworms after digesting organic matter. When aged and managed under controlled conditions, these castings become a stable humus-like substance. Stable...

Worm cast extracts, like our Worm Brew, or the extracts farmers produce on-farm from our Worm Mods, are made by brewing castings in water to extract beneficial microbes and suspend...

For farmers looking to produce high-quality worm cast for on-farm use or organisations aiming to process significant volumes of organic waste, large-scale worm farms offer distinct advantages over their smaller...

Compost worms, like Eisenia fetida, thrive in well-managed environments with optimal moisture (60–80%), temperature (15–25°C), and aeration. In such conditions, worm populations can double roughly every three months. Worms naturally...

Microbial seed treatments are a game-changer in germination, leveraging the power of beneficial microorganisms to enhance seed germination rates, protect seedlings, and promote robust early growth. By inoculating seeds with...

Continuous Flow-Through (CFT) worm farms are designed to process organic waste into worm castings efficiently, using a large volume of bedding and organic material to create a substantial thermal mass....

One of the most significant contributions of mycorrhizal fungi is their ability to dramatically increase the root surface area of plants. The fungi form an extensive network of thread-like structures...

Worm Mod worm farms can help your organisation reduce organic waste, cut costs, and enhance sustainability credentials. This guide outlines some high-level strategic steps to implement a worm farm, focusing...

High volumes of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) re applied to keep yields up—often over 200 kg/ha of nitrogen for wheat in high-rainfall zones or 150 kg/ha of...

In an era where sustainability and environmental education are paramount, schools are uniquely positioned to lead by example. Implementing large-scale worm farms, such as Worms Downunder’s Worm Mod units, offers...

We wanted to explore if we could increase the nutrient content of Worm Brew. In every test, we hit a wall: the brew doesn’t stay stable. After just 3 days...

Many farmers are using their Worm Farms for the sole purpose of producing top-quality worm castings on-farm to brew into liquid extracts for various applications (e.g. seed dressings, fertigation, foliar...
