Wormly was born from the shared vision of Torbjorn Bernhardsson, a Swedish designer, and Dominic Hooghuis, an Australian horticulturalist, who wanted to make gardening smarter, greener, and more rewarding. They asked a simple question: why let food waste sit in landfill when it could be transformed into rich, living soil that makes your garden thrive?The answer is Wormly. Combining Torbjorn's sleek, thoughtful design with Dominic's horticultural expertise, Wormly is a biodegradable in-ground worm farm that turns everyday scraps into a natural, slow-release fertilizer, right where your plants need it. It's easy to use, kind to the planet, and a little addictive to watch in action. Every Wormly helps divert food waste from landfill, nourish your garden, and save you money on fertilizers. Small changes, big impact- that's the Wormly way.Website: https://wormly.com.au/Socials: https://www.instagram.com/wormly.com.au/Where you can find all things Muddy Boots!Website: https://www.muddyboots.net.au/Instagram: www.instagram.com/muddybootspodcast/ Facebook: Muddy Boots Podcast | Facebook

Today's focus is perennial plants - which ones can you rely on to thrive in the summer heat?What is a Perennial? Generally have a life span of 5-7 years. Once the flowers die off, the plant produces new growth at the base. Perennials are a fantastic choice with long flowering seasons (up to 9 months). Perennials can't be beaten for colour, texture and variety.Before selecting perennials, be sure to check your ‘heat and cold zones' for best performance.Aim to prune before at the end of March before the Autumn Equinox to extend the flowering season. Dead-heading your perennials and regular feeding with products like Charlie Carp will help them to thrive. Common pests - bugs like leaf hoppers can be treated with ECO Neem and Eco Oil (avoid spraying in full sun).Top performing perennials:Verbena bonariensisSalvia mystic spiresAgastache orangeAchillea MoonshineRudbeckia GoldquellePersicaria amplexicaulis Fat DominoHelenium Moerheim BeautyEchinacea Magnus SuperiorAchillea Summer BerriesSedum Autumn JoyPerevoskia atriplicifoliaEuphorbia Arctic BlueScaevola ground coverPigfaceWhere you can find all things Muddy Boots!Website: https://www.muddyboots.net.au/Instagram: www.instagram.com/muddybootspodcast/ Facebook: Muddy Boots Podcast | Facebook
