Product type
Vermicompost is a type of organic fertilizer produced through the decomposition of organic matter by earthworms. It is rich in nutrients and beneficial microorganisms, making it an excellent amendment for improving soil health and fertility. The process involves the breakdown of organic materials such as food scraps and agricultural waste, which are ingested by earthworms and excreted as nutrient-rich castings.
