Why We Raise Multiple Worm Species?
By raising these three species together, we maximize the efficiency of our vermicomposting process. Each worm species has different behaviors and feeding habits, allowing for faster decomposition of organic matter and the production of rich, high-quality vermicompost that benefits plants and soil health.
At Nath Nanth Farming, we are committed to sustainable farming and providing natural solutions for soil enrichment. Whether you’re a gardener, farmer, or someone interested in organic composting, our earthworms and vermicompost can help you grow healthier, more productive plants. 🌿
