Managed vermiculture

An app that guides the living process of recycling organic waste

Composting worms and microorganisms turn organic waste into fertile soil. Vermix makes the process clear: it shows the state of the system, explains what is changing and helps you make sound decisions at every stage.

A reactor in cross-section: fresh organic matter on top, composting worms and the microbiome at work below, vermicompost maturing at the bottom. The process changes every day, and Vermix notices the shifts before they become problems.
WHY IT MATTERS

Waste rots, fertilizer gets pricier, soil dies

Most organic waste ends up in landfill, even though it could be a valuable resource. Meanwhile, soil loses organic matter every year, and good fertilizer keeps getting more expensive. Vermiculture solves both problems at once.

Organic matter goes to waste

A cost instead of a valuable raw material.

Rising fertilizer costs

Fertilizer costs more and delivers less.

Soil depletion

Fertility is lost faster than it is restored.

Opportunity

Waste predictably becomes a product

Five phases, 60–90 days: Eisenia fetida worms and the microbiome turn organic matter into fertilizer. The population grows on its own, as long as feed and conditions are kept right.

CYCLE · FROM WASTE TO PRODUCT60–90 DAYS · 5 PHASES
Cycle length60–90 days
Yield per 1 m³ of waste≈ 600 L
Most fragile windowDays 14–30

VermixAI · What matters: the active phase is the most fragile window of the cycle: the colony is already feeding at full strength, but the layer of castings is still thin.

01

Vermicompost and worm tea

A living fertilizer: humic substances, microflora and nutrients plants can take up, replacing part of the chemicals you buy.

02

A growing population

Composting worms multiply on their own when conditions are right. The surplus becomes high-protein feed.

A living system

Most problems become visible too late

Temperature, moisture and population activity change every day, and at first the changes are barely noticeable. Catch the early signs in time, and a simple action stops the problem. Miss them, and recovery takes weeks.

Overheating

Temperature inside the reactor climbs before any outward signs. Above 28 °C the mass needs cooling; at 30–34 °C you have 6–12 hours to act; from 35 °C, only a few hours.

Waterlogging

Working moisture is 70–80%. Above 90, water pushes out oxygen: aerobic microflora gives way to anaerobic processes, acids and odor.

Acidification

Working pH is 6.5–7.5. Below 5.5 the worms stop feeding and leave the reactor; above 8, an ammonia shift begins. The smell gives it away before any meter does.

Cold

Below 12 °C the worms slow down, at 5–6 °C they stop feeding, and near 4 °C they go dormant. On a balcony or in an unheated shed, winter is the biggest risk of the year.

Every change has a cause

Temperature, moisture, pH, microbiome: everything is connected.

What Vermix does

Vermix brings scattered signs together into one picture of the reactor

Every recommendation is explained: you understand not only what to do, but what each conclusion is based on.

VermixAI · What I think: after nitrogen-rich feed the mass heats up by 5–10 °C, peaking at 24–48 hours. Stop adding feed, loosen the layer and let air in.

VermixAI · What I see: moisture has been rising for three days in a row. Hold off watering for a day, otherwise an oxygen-free shift is likely in the coming days.

VermixAI · Why this way: cooling goes on the outside: bottles of ice wrapped in cloth, in the corners. Water and ice inside the mass smother the colony.

THE CRISIS IS OVER WHEN ALL OF THESE HOLD

Deviations show up before the failure

After a feeding mistake, everything looks fine for another 2–3 days. Vermix spots the shift earlier, and 72 hours after the crisis it will ask on its own how things turned out.

What Vermix won’t do

A tool earns trust not through promises, but through what it refuses to do. Here are four such rules, built into the code.

Doesn’t invent precision

Say “wet” and you get a range of 80–90%, not a figure like 85.0%.

Doesn’t advise blind

Five days without a reading, and Vermix stops advising until it sees a fresh one.

Doesn’t count down to die-off

There is no countdown on a living system. There is a window you need to act in.

Doesn’t leave after the protocol

After 72 hours it asks on its own how the reactor handled the protocol.

See it in action

Control starts with understanding the process

One system looks at the process in six ways, from the log to the AI assistant, and runs the cycle on data, not guesswork. Select each one to see it.

HOW VERMIX BEGAN

Out of a real reactor

We never set out to write “smart automation”. Vermix grew out of our daily work on a working vermifarm, and all of that
experience is built into the code.

THE TOOL

We built Vermix for ourselves, and now that experience is yours

Open Vermix

It rests on ten years of hands-on daily work at a vermifarm. We ship breeding stock ourselves, process tonnes of waste, make mistakes and look for answers.

Vermix does not replace people: the hands-on work is still yours. But the system removes the blind spot: it shows the state of the process, explains deviations, calculates feed rations and helps you make sound decisions in time.

Every algorithm, calculation and protocol exists because we ran into a real problem and looked for a solution, first in the reactor, then in the scientific literature. There are no random features in Vermix: it holds only what once helped us.

EXPERIENCE

10+ years of experience

Every day we work hands-on at our own vermifarm: feeding, taking readings, pulling reactors back from overheating and acidification, through every season, ten years running.

SCALE

500 tonnes a year

That is how much organic matter our vermifarm processes. At this volume the process shows itself in full: a reactor in winter, nitrogen-rich feed in the heat, a crash at the peak of fermentation.

FARM

Our own vermifarm

Everything the app can do grew out of our work. The farm is still running today: the same reactors, the same readings and the same log you have in the app.

WHO IT’S FOR

One biology at any scale

From a first container to an industrial site, what changes is not the biology, but the scale, the responsibility and the cost of a mistake.

Home

Your first reactor, a few minutes a day and a calm start. All the science and every protocol on one reactor: the GO plan.

Farm

Several reactors and a team at work every day. Up to ten reactors, roles and a shared log: the PRO plan.

Industry

Tens of tonnes of organic matter on your premises. We process it ourselves or together with you: we set up the site, train your staff and run the process with our technologist. Terms by contract.

Breweries
Greenhouses
Sugar mills
Agribusinesses
Food producers
Municipalities
