HOW IT WORKS

Wriggle Brew is an organic liquid fertilizer derived from worm castings, designed to enhance plant growth and resilience. Its effectiveness stems from a combination of natural ingredients and beneficial microorganisms that work synergistically to nourish plants and protect them from pests.

Key Components and Their Functions

// Earthworm Castings: These provide a comprehensive nutritional profile for plants, including essential macro and micronutrients. They also contain natural growth hormones that stimulate seed germination and root development.

// Beneficial Bacteria: The product includes USDA food-grade bacteria that aid in breaking down nutrients, making them more accessible to plants. These bacteria also help protect plants from harmful pathogens.

// Mycelium: Fungal mycelium expands root systems, enhancing nutrient and water uptake. It also offers protection against certain pests and diseases.

Together, these components create a holistic environment that supports plant health without the use of synthetic chemicals.

Additional Benefits

// Dual Action: WriggleBrew not only nourishes plants but also acts as a natural pesticide, effectively combating pests like thrips, aphids, and mealy bugs without harming beneficial insects or pollinators.

// Safety: The formula is non-toxic to humans, pets, and wildlife, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

// Ease of Use: It can be applied directly to the soil or as a foliar spray, simplifying the fertilization process for gardeners.

The combination of organic ingredients and beneficial microorganisms provides a natural and effective solution for promoting plant growth and health.

How it Started

One day, our future CEO Sam Baker went fishing with his grandfather at one of their favorite ponds, only to find it reeking and full of dead fish, poisoned by fertilizer runoff. The devastation stuck with him.

Sam brought the issue to his friend and research partner at UCF, Gabe DeGaglia. Together, they began researching eco-friendly fertilizers. Most were smelly, ineffective, or hard to use; so they set out to make something better.

After years of trial and error, they created WriggleBrew: Growth & Rescue! A clean, low-odor, organic fertilizer that’s safe for people, pets, and wildlife, and just as effective as chemical alternatives.

Today, Sam and Gabe run a family-and-friends business, working to protect the planet, one bottle at a time.
