Backed by Science: WormGold Testing at UNE 🧪🌱
At WormGold, we’ve always believed in the power of nature, but we also believe in backing that power with science.
As part of our commitment to producing a high-quality, effective, and trustworthy liquid worm fertiliser, we recently had our product tested at the University of New England (UNE) in Armidale.
The goal? To ensure WormGold delivers the microbial richness and nutrient profile that healthy soils and thriving plants need.
🔍 What We Tested
Working alongside the UNE Soil Science team, we sent samples of our brewed worm tea to their laboratory for analysis. This testing helps us:
Verify beneficial microbial activity
Assess nutrient levels
Confirm the absence of harmful pathogens or contaminants
🌱 Key Results — Gardener’s Highlights
High in calcium, phosphorus, and potassium essential for strong roots, flowering, and overall plant health.
Rich in trace elements like magnesium, sulphur, iron, zinc, and manganese all vital for photosynthesis, enzyme function, lush foliage, and nutrient uptake.
pH-balanced to support healthy soils.
