Direct UK Create golden compost! Buy worms online,
direct from the worm farm, to reduce your organic waste
by turning it into a rich mix of vermicompost and casts.
This is a dark soil like material, rich in nutrients
and micro life that your plants have been crying out
for! Use it as mulch all around your plants and allow
the rain to provide them with a slow, natural, organic
liquid feed. Like any mulch, it will help to conserve
moisture in dry spells and suppress weeds alternatively
you can dig it in straight away making an excellent soil
conditioner and feed all in one.
