Welcome to Nordic Worming, worm-powered biomass recycling!
Philosophy
At Nordic Worming we are on a mission.
A mission to prevent the waste of precious natural ressources and avoid unnecessary emissions of greenhouse gasses. We believe that organic is better than industrial and that local wins over global.
Nordic Worming
We are a startup company, based in Orimattila. Our aim is the recycling of biomass and production of 100% organic fertilizer through worm composting.
Working with Mother nature's own recipe
The recycling of biomass involves playing with many factors. Moisture, gasses, heat. Our little helper, in the process of transforming "waste" material into nutrient rich vermicompost, is the common compost worm. Read more about this fascinating but misunderstood creature.
How can worms help you with your business?
If you are a producer, talking about the environement is nice and definitely matters, but talking about numbers helps to understand the value of products and services. While sustainability come more and more into the focus of consumers, we at Nordic Worming are keen to offer our customers the means of giving the answer: "Yes, we are sustainable!".
So let us start by having a closer look at some of the purely economical advantages that the use of vermicompost might bring to your business:
Up to 120% more fruits
Research proved that the addition of humic acid (extracted from vermicompost) to the planting medium can increase fruit production of strawberries from an average 5 fruit per plant for the control group up to 11 fruit per plant for the vermicompost group. This effect is independent from the concentration of available nutrients. Other plants tested were marigolds, tomatoes and peppers. Humic acid also stimulates the leaf growth and production of lateral roots, with an overall healthier plant as a result.

Spend less, get more!
A 2000 published study has shown that all of the positive effects from adding vermicompost to the planting medium were reached with concentrations from 10 to 40 percent of vermicompost in the mix.
That might seem a relatively high quantity if compared to liquid fertilizer, but it is important to remember that only one application is enough to cover a plant’s needs for many weeks!
If you want to increase your productivity and reduce your costs at the same time, vermicompost is the ideal helper, providing slow released nutrients, improving the granulosity of the soil, equalizing pH levels and retaining humidity.
You will find more data in our "Facts & Numbers" section.
GET Rewarded for managing your waste
We want to go one step further than "traditional" waste management. Instead of just taking things from your yard and leaving empty bins, sometimes we reverse the flow...
If you are a producer, you can claim a percentage of your choice from the vermicompost we produced with your biomass against a small fee: we call this Payback.
Depending on the amount of biomass provided and the percentage you chose, Payback can provide you with vermicompost for virtually everything, starting from a few plants up to a whole field or more.
How can worms help you with your garden?
Not only professionals can benefit from the incredible power that lies within vermicompost and its by-products. The advantages listed for professionals apply as well to a private garden or flower bed.
If you grow vegetables for you own consumption, how you feed them plays a main role when it comes to taste, quality and quantity of the end product.
The smarter choice
Worms are the only animals known to men, that have the incredibe ability to produce top soil. We all live, feed and die on a thin crust of about 30cm that is the only part of the soil able to sustain vegetal life. Worms play the biggest role in the delicate regeneration process of the top soil, by adding nutrients to it through their droppings.
Feeding the plants in your garden with vermicompost is giving them the same food that nature gives them - in it's purest, concentrated form.
The healthier choice
Let's put it like this: it doesn't matter what your meaning on global warming is. There is no reason why any of us should pollute air, soil or water by simple lazyness.
By recycling biomass, we can cover all elements with one solution. The atmosphere will not have to deal with methane and CO², the soil be improved through addition of (vermi)compost and the water not be overloaded with chemicals potentially harmful to flora and fauna and, in the end, to us.
The local choice
At Nordic Worming we strive to produce locally, close to the customer. Reducing the need to move material across the country, we are able to have an extremely slender ecological footprint.
Our customers can be certain that the fertilizer of their choice has been produced somewhere in the vicinity, without surface mining, transoceanic shipping or any other process that might harm nature and people, be it here or abroad.
Supporting local farming businesses - not only us! - is the best way towards a sustainable agriculture and responsible use of ressources.
