Description
Vermicast is the material deposited by the earthworms after the material passes through the digestive tract of the worm (worm manure). Worms, also known as “vermin” break down organic matter by consuming said matter after consumption they leave behind “castings” that are an excellent soil enhancer and bioactive high quality fertilizer for organic farming. This is a perfect alternative to using chemical fertilizers, and has been proven in field tests. (Kahariam, 2014)
