If you’ve visited the Four Oaks Trade Show or Glee Birmingham this year, the chances are you’ve heard the name Urban Wyrm. But if you didn’t visit our stands, you might not know who we are. So, what is Urban Wyrm and who is behind it?
Urban Wyrm are the UK’s worm cast experts. Founded by Ashley Day and Chris Holgreaves in partnership with Growmoor Better Growing, we produce a range of composts, soil conditioners and feeds made from worm casts - essentially, worm poop!
Growmoor Better Growing, the company behind the Growmoor range of composts and soil improvers, has one of the best reputations in the horticulture industry for growing mediums. The partnership between Growmoor and Urban Wyrm has enabled Urban Wyrm to produce pure worm casts in a pouch and Black Gold Organic compost, both in a peat-free and peat-containing form. Plus, there’s the option for professional gardeners and landscapers and commercial growers to buy Worm Casts, Black Gold Organic and an exclusive Worm Blend in bulk.
Since launching in June, we've been blown away by the interest! Our stand was one of the most popular at the Four Oaks Trade Show, and just a few weeks later, Black Gold Organic won Sustainable Product of the Year at the Glee New Product Awards.
We're also incredibly excited that the iconic no-dig horticulturist Charles Dowding has chosen to sing the praises of our products! Charles has become the affiliated partner of Urban Wyrm and appeared alongside us at Glee Birmingham on the Underground Podcast.
