"Nourished Earth" - a name we picked to illustrate our goal of regenerating soil, creating a better ecosystem for our plants, the planet and ourselves.

We are a small, but passionate, wife and husband team (plus three young trainee horticulturists). We love to share our passion for nature, soil biology and growing. Hopefully that comes across in all that we do at Nourished Earth.

Thank you for supporting our small business, and in turn our little family, and hopefully the planet as well. 

Plants and Worms

Our Compost Companion and Worm Cast Tea are made naturally from our on-site worm farm, along with our Biochar. 

We also add them to our compost to grow our plants, trees and soft fruit bushes (only available at in-person events). This means that when you buy our plants, you're also getting compost that is infused with billions of living beneficial bacteria, microbes and fungi that nourish, protect and care for the plants as well as the soil. Therefore, when you plant one of plants in your garden, be it in bigger pots, raised beds, or just in a special spot - all that life contained in our compost will spread through your soil, regenerating your soil and giving additional plants a better environment to grow in. Come and find us at an event to find out more!

Peat Free Compost?

Peat-free compost has environmental benefits as reducing our dependence on peat means we are not harvesting peat beds and destroying important habitats. However, the peat contains all the beneficial stuff plants need to thrive - and it's good at holding moisture too.

So, without peat, what is our compost being made from? It is primarily wood chip and coconut coir, meaning it provides next to ZERO nutritional benefit for our plants and is not populated with all the beneficial bacteria and fungi either. It has a poor structure, so water goes straight through it, along with any nutrient plant feed in the water. So, although peat-free compost may contribute to saving the planet, it is not nearly as good at growing plants. You may have already noticed this yourself!
