Question 3

How do you do your bit for the environment?

Accepted Answer

Living and working on a farm, we like to reduce, reuse and recycle as much as possible. Our packaging is made from recycled materials, as far as possible, and we recycle or reuse all the packaging our deliveries arrive in. We compost our flower waste and we feed our birds. Our birdfood packaging is reusable so if you want to send back your bags and mealworm tubs we will re-use them where we can. We are constantly looking for ways of reducing our impact so welcome your ideas.

Question 5

Can I use my Worm Leachate in the Winter?

Accepted Answer

Worm tea gives a real boost to your potted plants through the winter. Here’s how to use it to keep them happy and healthy:

Give Them a Nutrient Boost: Winter light can be weak, which often slows down plant growth. Worm tea gives them a gentle top-up of nutrients—like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium—without pushing them too hard.
Support Soil Health: Your plants’ indoor soil can get compacted and dry out more easily in winter. A monthly dose of diluted worm tea keeps it moist and rich, helping roots absorb all the goodness they need.
Microbes for Immune Support: The beneficial microbes in worm tea are brilliant for building up your plants’ immunity, which helps them fend off winter stress and stay resilient.
Foliar Spray for Leaf Health: Spritzing a diluted worm tea mix (1 part worm tea to 10 parts water) onto the leaves every 3-4 weeks adds a layer of pest and disease protection. It keeps the leaves clean and boosts their health.
Strengthen the Roots: Watering with a bit of worm tea around the roots every few weeks gives them a slow-release, natural nutrient boost right where they need it, helping them grow strong through the winter.
Natural Pest Deterrent: Indoor plants can sometimes attract pesky fungus gnats and other bugs over the winter. Worm tea’s beneficial bacteria and fungi create a healthier soil balance that naturally keeps pests at bay.
