We regularly report on where the current Fertiliser market is at for the mainstream synthetic Fertilisers, but are you looking for an alternate Australian Made and owned option?

Worm Hit Fertilisers has been a supplier of ours for a number of years now but has quietly gone under the radar with their products.

The original founders of Worm Hit identified worm castings as the organic powerhouse fertiliser of the future and began investigating in a solution to the application challenges of this amazing, natural product. Through intensive research, production trials and testing, the team was able to develop a unique system enabling them to both pelletise the castings and form them into compacted bricks.
​
Operating from their Mildura-based Production Facility in 2015, the Company began an extensive research and development phase, testing and trialling the product on various commercially produced crops. The highly successful trials led to both Worm Hit Pellets and Worm Hit Bricks being commercially available for sale in 2017.
​
The Company's vision focused on creating a more sustainable agricultural system. They aim to contribute to this vision by more sustainable, natural farming practices and the reduction of inorganic, unsustainable fertilisers.
