Ana and Sergio Vázquez founded Terra Viva in 2014 on a cattle farm their family had stopped using outside Lugo. They started with a single 40-metre worm bed; today there are twelve, each a few years older than the last, fed only by the farm's own composted dairy waste and locally collected oak leaf. Their living soil base is the most-shipped item on NATURAGROW, and the recipe hasn't changed since 2017.
— THE PROCESS —
Twelve worm beds, each a different age. The oldest started in 2014; nothing has been emptied since.
Oak-leaf collection, late autumn. Sourced within five kilometres of the farm.
Screening castings by hand. Never sterilised, never heat-treated.
Mixing the Living Soil base. Composted bark, castings, basalt, kelp — and that's the whole list.
Kraft-bagged on-site. No warehouse middle layer.
