About Forterra Environmental Corp.

Forterra manufactures and markets powerful and environmentally friendly soil
enhancers, using worm castings, which boost fertility while restoring the soil
with organic matter for sustainable, longer-term benefits, including stronger
root growth, and drought and pest resistance. Forterra products contain only
organic material. They are ideal for golf courses, sports fields, lawn care,
parks, nurseries, orchards, and vineyards. Forterra produces commercial
quantities of premium worm castings year round at its Toronto plant.
Essentially, Forterra uses red wriggler worms to convert organic waste into
vermicompost or worm castings. Worm castings contain micronutrients, which are
required for healthy plant development. Worm castings also contain microbes,
which increase the rate at which plants take up available macronutrients and
micronutrients.
