It is produced by composting organic matter, utilizing specific earthworms Eisenia fetida (Red Wringler) to get high quality end product. This compost is an odorless, clean, organic material containing adequate quantities of several micronutrients essential for plant growth.

How much watering is needed for my plants after using vermicompost?
Vermicompost is a colloid and holds up to nine times its own weight in water. This can make a huge difference when there is a dry spell. The water is held at an organic level so tends to evaporate slowly while still being available to the plants.
How does the vermicompost helps in plant growth?
Among the hormones that earthworm compost contains are hormones that help plants to grow. Germination of seeds is encouraged, the growth of the plant is stronger and the crop yield improved. This natural support for the plants is not available with chemical fertilizers. The distribution of the compost through the soil also helps to encourage healthy root growth..
What is the Diffrence between using vermicompost & chemical fertilizer ?
Chemical fertilizers bombard plants with huge amounts of nutrients that are going to drain by and eventually be washed out of the soil by the rain. This is avoided by using Vermicompost which is lower in nutrient content but which does not get washed out of the soil. The nutrients are held in place and released slowly so that the plants receive what they need over a prolonged period.
