Our Story
It’s a Lot – We Know
Doing the right thing by the planet can feel like a full-time job. Busy weeks, a hundred labels to decode, and the nagging sense you’re getting it wrong anyway. We reckon the good choice should just be the easy one.
Everyday Wins Matter
We’re not eco-perfect, just persistent. Reused jars. Food scraps saved for the chooks. Eco-friendly dog-poo bags. Little swaps that actually stick – and they add up.
The Worm Poo Revelation
A mate had a problem: piles and piles of top-quality mealworm frass and nowhere for it to go. We had a shed, a ute and a soft spot for planet-friendly living. So we teamed up to get nature’s fertiliser to the people.
Rich Roots Was Born
One ingredient: raw mealworm frass. No synthetic nasties, no pong, and nothing you’d worry about around the kids, the dog, or the herbs you’re about to eat. Works just as well on a balcony full of pots as it does in a veggie patch.
From Slacks Creek, With Love
We’re Alana & Steve – partners in life and soil. We mix, weigh and pack every pouch ourselves in Mungaree (Slacks Creek, QLD), meaning place of fishes. We hope you’ll grow with us.
What we care about
-
Waste not
A by-product that would have gone to landfill, packed close to home in recyclable materials.
-
Keep it simple
Sprinkle, water, done. No mixing, no measuring jugs, no chemistry degree required.
-
Show the numbers
Independently lab tested, with the results printed right on the page. No vague promises.
Three pots on a balcony or a backyard full of beds – good soil is good soil. We just make the stuff that feeds it.
