About

Bellarine Soil Tech (formerly Bellarine Worms) is a diverse family owned, permaculture based farming business, located on the Bellarine Peninsula, Victoria.

We pride ourselves on our customer service and our exceptional knowledge of all things Vermiculture and related products. We are so passionate about what we do, Wayne is often asked to appear as a guest speaker at numerous Gardening Clubs, Garden Nursery’s and the like to share his extensive experience, knowledge and passion for everything worms.

Wayne started out some 35 years ago in the building industry as an apprentice carpenter & joiner, working his way up through the ranks acquiring exceptional building knowledge, people and organisation skills. Wayne soon found himself working for many years in building management positions for several of Australia’s largest domestic builders. After a successful career in building management it was time for a change and with a forever increasing interest in Aquaponics, Permaculture and Vermiculture, Bellarine Soil Tech was born.

It has now been over 15 years since we sold our first batch of compost worms and with our unique free ongoing advisory and onsite tutorial service, we have never had a customer having to purchase additional compost worms due to our unique follow-up service making sure that our customers get it right the first time.

Bellarine Soil Tech is a Vermiculture based operation that aids people and families to process their organic waste in a sustainable way. Bellarine Soil Tech had for many years manufactured and installed a range of low-cost, small to medium sized worm farms which process organic waste into nutrient rich organic soil amendment, fertilisers and folio sprays.

The aim of Bellarine Soil Tech is to be the driving force behind organic recycling. Bellarine Soil Tech is committed to recycling organic waste including food scraps and is working towards the goal of having all households organic waste recycled straight back into their own gardens, neighbours gardens and our community gardens. This alone would remove millions of tons of waste from our landfill sites, reducing methane emissions and ground water contamination. It would also lessen the requirements for new landfill sites resulting in transporting less waste around the country with all the associated CO2 emissions.

To do this Bellarine Soil Tech is striving to provide and assist with a low cost sustainable waste management solution for all domestic applications. We have designed, built and tested many types of worm farms and along with many other commercially manufactured worm farms, we have narrowed down the best designs for domestic applications.

Even though our business has evolved significantly and much of what we do has changed, the continued demand for our premium worm casting based products has exceeded our expectations.

Bellarine Soil Tech is passionate about ensuring a clean, safe and sustainable future.
