Vermicast Organic Bulk Fertiliser: For Agriculture & Horticulture
How could our vermicast benefit your farm or orchard?
Are you experiencing a decline in your natural soil productivity - like shallow root systems, low humus levels, nutrients and water holding capacity? Do you want to reduce nutrient and fertiliser losses from your topsoil, or increase the value of your most valuable investment of your property - your soil?
Vermicast is cost-effective, improves and regenerates your soil fertility and productivity, and is environmentally-friendly. Vermicast (otherwise known as worm castings) is ideal for pasture, cropping, horticulture, glasshouses, and nurseries, and also great for potting mixes to boost plant growth.
Our mission here at MyNoke is to assist you in activating the life of your soil, with the aim of increasing both humus content and biological activity. Where crop rotation and soil management do not contribute to the sustainable reproduction of soil humus, vermicast and earthworms can improve soil fertility and soil function.

Vermicast benefits
- Full of natural plant growth bio-stimulants - cytokinins, gibberellins, auxins and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Gibberellins and auxins boost root growth and activity. This increases nutrient uptake and provides plants with greater access to water in the root zone. IAA is proven to be effective in repelling insects such as caterpillars and aphids. At the same time, it attracts pollinators.
- Contain beneficial soil microorganisms - bacteria, fungi, mycorrhiza, protozoa (flagellates, amoebae, ciliates) for soil health.
- Stimulate plant root growth and activity
- Increase water holding capacity
- Increase nutrient holding capacity (high cation exchange capacity)
- Unlock nutrients – reducing the need for additional fertilisers
- Help suppress plant diseases

Vermicast application recommendations
Our 20 mm screened vermicast is suitable for most commercial fertiliser spreaders and all muck spreaders.
It is easy to spread over established pastures, orchards, vineyards, groves, etc.
Applying MyNoke vermicast to the soil surface is ideal as this allows feeder roots to interact with plant growth stimulators and beneficial microorganisms in the vermicast.
