The product is then converted into a extremely potent organic fertiliser, wormcast, in our wooden wormeries. This wormcast, which has been enriched with the essential trace elements which can be missing from most foods, can then be used to grow the healthiest fruit, vegetables and plants which money just cannot buy! This rocess allows soil to be regenerated into an enriched state producing organic produce throughout the year. Their projects have enabled individuals to come together to work on climate changing initiatives, to grow local produce and build the “social capital” of their communities.
