Annelida
Annelida Soil Solutions produces high-quality,
chemical-free plant food from organic
waste using red wiggler worms.
Believing in the Future of Vermicomposting
Inspired by the possibility of building better soil Annelida Soil Solutions was formed by a group of like-minded agriculture enthusiasts to support our customers.
Our Mission
Annelida is committed to producing the perfect organic bio-stimulant. By diverting organic material from landfills we are able to create our Premium Earthworm Castings in both granular and extract forms.
Annelida aims to provide a biologically diverse and chemical-free vermicasting with the highest functionality available in an organic plant food.
Premium Feedstock, Patented Technology
Annelida’s organic feedstock is diverted from landfills and contains nine essential ingredients. Patented, automated continuous flow digestors provide an ideal environment for the red wiggler worms to consume the feedstock during a 45–60-day cycle. Competitors typically feed their worms peat moss and grains with a 10–14 day processing time resulting in a product that contains less of the biology that plants require for optimum growth.
