A living vermi-biome inoculant, whey-purified from CFT vermicompost to activate soil, compost, Bokashi and organic waste biology.

Bring the biology of the worm biome back to your soil.

VB-X is a living biological inoculant harvested from the microbial environment of continuous-flow vermicomposting.

Instead of beginning with a fixed microbial recipe, VB-X begins with CFT-harvested vermicompost โ€” a living system in which microorganisms have already adapted to the constant flow of organic matter through the earthworm-associated environment.

The harvested biological material undergoes a controlled whey-purification and enrichment process, selecting for the acid-tolerant, fermentation-active fraction of this naturally established community.

The result is VB-X: a concentrated liquid biological extract designed to carry vermicompost-derived biology into new environments.

Soil Activation

Applied to soil, VB-X introduces a living microbial inoculum into the root-zone environment where organic matter, plant residues and soil minerals are continually being transformed.

Use it as part of a biological soil-management programme to encourage microbial activity, nutrient cycling and the decomposition of organic inputs.

VB-X is not a synthetic fertiliser and does not attempt to replace the mineral nutrition of a crop. Its role is to activate the biological processes surrounding those nutrients.

Compost & Organic Waste

VB-X can also be used to inoculate compost piles, organic residues, manure and other biodegradable materials.

Applied with sufficient moisture, the biological culture helps establish fermentation and decomposition activity throughout the organic mass.

It is particularly suited to systems where you want to deliberately introduce biology rather than simply allowing decomposition to develop from whatever organisms happen to be present.

Bokashi & Fermentation

VB-X provides another route into biological fermentation.

Use it to inoculate bran, carbon-rich materials and suitable organic waste streams for Bokashi-style processing. Its vermicompost origin makes it particularly interesting for closed-loop systems where composting, vermiculture and soil biology are treated as one connected biological system.

Why โ€œVermi-Biomeโ€?

The name reflects the source.

VB-X isn’t simply a generic bacterial suspension. Its starting point is the microbial community associated with an active vermicomposting system, followed by controlled whey enrichment and preservation.

The worm creates the environment.
The vermicompost carries the biology.
VB-X carries that biology forward.

Use VB-X wherever you want to introduce living vermicompost-derived biology into soil, compost, Bokashi and organic-waste systems.

Storage

Store VB-X tightly sealed in a cool, dark location away from direct sunlight.

Refrigeration is not required. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat, direct sunlight or contamination.

Shake gently before dilution and use non-chlorinated water for applications where viable biological activity is required.

Application

Usage Instructions & Dosage

1. Agriculture & Soil Conditioning (Root Drench)

  • What it does: Populates the rhizosphere with nutrient-cycling microbes, fixes nitrogen, and mobilizes bound phosphorus.

  • Dilution Rate: Mix 5ml to 10ml of VB-X per 1 Litre of non-chlorinated water.

  • Application: Apply as a weekly or bi-weekly root drench around vegetables, fruit trees, and garden beds.

2. Foliar Spray (Plant Vigor & Protection)

  • What it does: Introduces competitive exclusion agents to leaf surfaces to crowd out fungal issues (like powdery mildew) while supplying microbially-derived cofactors.

  • Dilution Rate: Mix 5ml of VB-X per 1 Litre of water.

  • Application: Spray evenly over leaves (preferably early morning or late afternoon during low-light periods).

3. Composting & Organic Waste Acceleration

  • What it does: Accelerates the breakdown of high-carbon materials, green waste, and food scraps by supercharging the native decomposition enzymes (cellulases and proteases).

  • Dilution Rate: Mix 15ml of VB-X per 1 Litre of water.

  • Application: Thoroughly douse compost piles, manure heaps, or organic layers every time you build or turn the pile to maintain moisture and drive rapid microbial succession.

4. Bokashi & Kitchen Waste Fermentation

  • What it does: Pickles and ferments food waste anaerobically without putrefaction or foul smells.

  • Dilution Rate: Use at 20ml per 1 Litre of water, or spray directly onto kitchen scraps inside the Bokashi bin as you layer them.

5. Animal Husbandry, Stables & Odour Control (Eco-Barn)

  • What it does: Neutralizes ammonia and volatile organic compounds in livestock housing, chicken coops, or pet areas, reducing flies and improving air quality[4][5].

  • Dilution Rate: Mix 20ml of VB-X per 1 Litre of water in a spray bottle or garden pressure sprayer.

  • Application: Mist down animal bedding, litter boxes, slurry pits, or stable floors regularly.

6. Fat, Oils and Grease (FOG)

  • Kitchen Sinks & Basin P-Traps: Squeeze the bottle to fill the integrated 30ml Bettix chamber. Pour 30mlย  directly down the drain during low-flow periods (preferably overnight). Repeat weekly or as needed.
  • Grease Traps & Gulley Drains: Pour 30ml to 60ml directly into the trap daily or weekly depending on grease loading.
  • Badly Clogged/Malodorous Drains: Apply 30mlย daily for 3 consecutive nights as an initial reset, then transition to weekly maintenance.

The Science

VB-X begins with biological material harvested from a Continuous Flow-Through (CFT) vermicomposting system. The harvested vermi-biome undergoes controlled whey purification and enrichment to select the acid-tolerant, fermentation-active fraction of the community.

The resulting biological extract is then preserved using a CalMag terminal ionic-stasis system, providing a stable liquid formulation while retaining biological viability for reactivation after dilution.

VB-X is therefore not a single-strain inoculant: it is a vermicompost-derived biological culture selected through a controlled enrichment process.


The Power of Postbiotic Enzymes

Unlike standard biological drenches that rely on dormant spores requiring hours to activate, VB-X is an active postbiotic extract. It contains pre-synthesized extracellular enzymes (lipases, proteases, cellulases) suspended in an acid-locked organic matrix (pH < 3.8).

  • Lipase Activity: Directly cleaves hydrophobic triglyceride bonds in fats, converting insoluble grease into water-soluble glycerol and free fatty acids.
  • Competitive Exclusion: The dense Lactobacillus consortium rapidly colonizes the pipe surface, outcompeting odor-causing putrefactive bacteria for nutrients and space.
  • CalMag Ionic Stasis: Formulated at a controlled electrical conductivity using a balanced Calcium and Magnesium matrix, ensuring extended shelf stability without continuous off-gassing in the bottle.
