How deep you know about earthworm? Do you love it? How many of you know that worm is one of the solutions? Do you know that there are different types of earthworm? Have you heard about Black gold?

Earthworm is such creatures that consumes soil and gives us black gold. YES! They consume soil and give out soil but the difference is that they consume normal soil and gives out the soil that is very fertile and it’s called BLACK GOLD (VERMICOMPOST). This process is called vermicomposting. There are different types of Earthworm and the one that loves to be in the compost bin and are productive is Red Wigglers (Eisenia fetida) and Red Worms (Lumbricus rubellus)

Its helps in soil aeration and increases productivity. Nothing goes to waste. We can rear this worm within a small place and the food for them is the waste that comes out of our kitchen and other biodegradable waste which they convert into black gold. Waste in spite of dumping in dustbin, how good will be if we will keep it in the earthworm bin. Vermicompost is organic fertilizer rich in NPK (nitrogen 2-3%, Phosphorus 1.5-2.25% and Potassium 2-2.25%), micronutrients and beneficial soil microbes as nitrogen fixing bacteria. Along with vermicompost, we can also get vemiliquor which is also enrich in nutrients for our crops.

People rear Dogs in their home. In my opinion, they don’t give any productive product in return but only consumes. I know they give us protection but thinking from cheaper and more advantageous point of view, how good will be to rear an earthworm that consumes our waste and gives us black gold in return. Another benefit is once we buy it, it’s enough for long as it reproduces itself and increases their numbers themselves. Cheaper, Right?  It helps to reduce pollution in our environment and encourages to keep it green.

So, I just love rearing them, taking their care and seeing  them grow.
