Worm casts are a natural powerhouse when it comes to boosting plant growth and improving soil health. Whether you're growing flowers, vegetables or houseplants, worm casts provide a nutrient-rich, eco-friendly alternative to chemical fertilisers. At Urban Wyrm, we offer two versatile products to suit your gardening needs: Black Gold Organic compost and pure worm cast pouches. Here's how to make the most of them in your garden.
Black Gold Organic Compost for general gardening
Our Black Gold Organic compost is perfect for all types of gardening, from potting plants to filling beds and borders. It's an all-purpose blend enriched with worm casts, designed to enhance water retention, nutrient availability, and overall plant health. You can even use Black Gold Organic Compost for sowing seeds and very young plants, as there is not a single plant that will not benefit from it.
Whether you're using it in hanging baskets, garden beds or patio containers, this compost will ensure your plants get the steady nutrition they need for robust growth. Black Gold Organic is also great for mulching around your plants, helping to keep the soil moist and protected while feeding the plants as the compost breaks down.
Feeding and mulching with Black Gold Organic
Black Gold Organic isn’t just for planting but also for feeding and mulching. When used as a top dressing, the compost slowly releases nutrients while improving soil structure, keeping the ground rich and fertile throughout the growing season. This is particularly effective for vegetable patches and flower beds, where regular feeding is essential for high yields and vibrant blooms.
Pure worm cast pouches for houseplants and outdoor plants
If you’re looking for a more concentrated nutrient boost, our pure worm cast pouches are the perfect solution. These pouches contain 100% pure worm casts, making them ideal for feeding both houseplants and outdoor plants. Simply sprinkle a handful of worm casts around the base of your plants or mix it into the soil when repotting. The live bacteria and micronutrients in the worm casts will gradually break down, nourishing your plants for weeks to come.
Make ‘worm tea’ for a potent plant feed
For an even stronger nutrient boost, you can create ‘worm tea’ - a liquid feed that’s easy to make and highly potent. To prepare worm tea, simply add a handful of pure worm casts to a watering can filled with water and let it steep for 24 hours. Once brewed, use the nutrient-rich tea to water your plants. This method provides a quick-release feed that’s perfect for houseplants, vegetables and flowering plants, helping them thrive with minimal effort.
