Experiments and Results
-
Before & After, Suriname Spinach, Aquaponics
The 4Roots aquaponics farm struggled with a mealy bug infestation. Four weeks after a foliar application of WriggleBrew, the infestation vanished and the spinach plants made a full recovery.
-
Pollinator-Friendly Fertilization
The Fred Funk Butterfly garden in the Villages repeatedly found WriggleBrew to be the only fertilization solution friendly enough to their butterflies to be useful. After using WriggleBrew, the garden went on to win garden of the year from the North American Butterfly Association!
-
Soy in the Heartland
Dozens of farms from Maryland to Iowa have used WriggleBrew successfully for their row crops. Soy farmers have been particularly impressed by improved yields, improved hardiness, and the affordability of WriggleBrew.
-
Seedling Survival & Mass
Among lettuce starts, those treated with WriggleBrew are both larger and far less likely to wilt than their untreated counterparts.
-
Rescuing Backyard Gardens
Many gardeners write to us and send us pictures of the plants they've saved with the help of our brew - such as this Hibiscus!
-
Award Winning Formulation
With the help of our brew, plenty of plants (some well over a decade old) have been able to flourish and win prizes at garden clubs!
-
Foliar Treatment on Vine Growers
In foliar treatments on tomato and cucumber vines, WriggleBrew adds vitality and improves yield.
-
Rebuilding the Soil
Even in sandy soils, the impact of WriggleBrew's microbial activity can clearly be seen.
-
Beans in Coconut Coir
In controlled substrates like coconut coir, the impact of WriggleBrew's nutrients and microbes can be clearly seen - such as in these beans.
-
Beans in Hydroponics
WriggleBrew is a great choice for accelerating growth in hydroponic systems while staying organic.
-
Regular Batch Testing
WriggleBrew has a unique QA method - nearly every batch of fertilizer we produce is not only rigorously chemically tested - but each batch is used to grow plants, too! This ensures a continually growing body of evidence with every batch.
-
BRIX Levels in Corn
Corn treated with WriggleBrew scores up to three times higher in BRIX levels for nutrition and sweetness, improving plant value and demonstrating its beneficial impacts on health.
-
Lettuce with and without Brew
The young lettuce plants shown here (above) were grown in coconut coir and given a small amount of brew at the start of their life. The same number of plants shown below were untreated. The difference is stark!
-
Germination in Corn
Thanks to the impact of worm castings (which contain substances such as gibberellic acid), WriggleBrew can not only be used on freshly planted seeds - but it actually has massively beneficial impacts on the rates at which they germinate. In corn, the increase is 42%+
-
Suffering From Success
During the testing for batch 24, we increased the quantity of seeds in order to get a larger dataset. WriggleBrew caused so many to sprout that the resulting plants were too many to fit on our scale!
-
Survival of Cuttings
WriggleBrew applied to cuttings and seedlings is uniquely useful in encouraging growth and ensuring survival.
-
Before & After, Tabor Azalea, Containerized
Nurseries find the use of WriggleBrew not only increases survival rates, but saves money too!
-
Soybean Yields in Maryland
Soy grown with WriggleBrew in Maryland showed massive increases in yield at a rate of only 32oz to the acre.
-
Sunflowers in Florida Sand
Our chief scientist Gabe loves sunflowers. Thanks to our brew, he's able to grow large healthy sunflowers even in our depleted and sandy soils.
-
With & Without, Aquaponics
Adding WriggleBrew to an aquaponic system is a great way to accelerate growth. And it doesn't hurt the fish!
-
Defending Pepper Plants
In numerous pepper plots, WriggleBrew has repeatedly been associated with lower populations of mealy bugs, improved yields and better health by farmers.
-
Confusing Cacti
While we don't typically recommend WriggleBrew be used on Cacti, some growers have reported explosive growth after application. Cacti aren't used to getting such a boost and have occaisionally grown so tall so fast they fall over!
-
With & Without, Firebush, Foliar
Landscapers are finding WriggleBrew an excellent addition to their accoutrement. The brew is even helpful on native plants, such as this firebush!
-
More Award-Winning Plants
Sam's grandmother has won numerous awards for her plants thanks to WriggleBrew.
-
Tomato Roots & Vermicompost Tea
Decades of studies by academics across the world have repeatedly shown the positive impacts of earthworm castings - the main ingredient in WriggleBrew. This study found great impacts on tomato roots!
-
Increasing Dose on Lettuce
Our first ever experiment was in Sam's dorm closet on lettuce plants - an increasing eyedropper of WriggleBrew was used, and the results were clear.
-
Squash in Solar Soil
Solar soil vermicompost is an excellent medium for growing all kinds of plants, sometimes even unintentionally. These squash bloomed in a pile of solar soil after some seeds were tossed on top and forgotten.
-
With & Without, Basil
On many plants, like Basil, the impact of WriggleBrew can be obvious only a few days after planting the seed!
