How much humus does a bull produce per year?  Vermicompost production: how to start a business?  Features of growing Californian worms

In this article I will tell you how to make vermicompost at home using or using any technological (earth, dung) worm. This is not just a disposal of food waste, it is a source of free vermicompost (organic fertilizer). This method will also save you money on purchasing organic fertilizers and give you a wonderful harvest in your garden.

What is vermicompost and how to use it

or vermicompost - This is a highly effective organic fertilizer, a product of technological processing of organic matter by worms and microorganisms. For the production of vermicompost, special technological worms are used: . It differs in that it does not contain pathogenic microflora, helminth eggs and worms, and weed seeds, is odorless, and non-toxic.

Properties of vermicompost:

  • increases the amount of humus layer in the soil
  • accelerates seed germination
  • increases productivity by 30-80%
  • the amount of nitrates in vegetables and fruits is reduced by 2 times
  • in the harvest there is a 2-fold increase in vitamin C, the content of sugars, carotene, and starch also increases
  • increases the shelf life of vegetables
  • accelerates the breakdown of pesticides in soil and plants
  • increases plant resistance to pests and diseases
  • enriches the soil
  • heals the soil
  • pH 6.5-7.5
  • Sodium 1.5%
  • Potassium 1.2%
  • Phosphorus 1.2%

Instructions for using vermicompost

  1. The first time vermicompost is applied when planting a plant at the rate of 30-80 kg per 1 sq.m. If it is a seedling, it is brought into a container with future seedlings. For grain crops and potatoes, it is enough to evenly distribute vermicompost over the soil surface.
  2. The second stage is root feeding; it is carried out before flowering, during the period when the green mass has already grown sufficiently.

For vegetable crops apply once a week, spraying it on the plant.

Vermicompost production

To produce vermicompost, special technological worms are used: Prospector worm, California worm, Dendroben worm.

Can be produced outdoors or indoors. In this article we will describe one of the methods of production at home.

How is vermicompost made?

The waste product of worms is coprolite (like horse dung). These coprolites are a wonderful product that is rich in beneficial microflora, enzymes, physiologically active compounds, a complex of minerals and vitamins. Together with coprolites, worms produce humus. This product is called vermicompost; it looks like small granules.

We use the Prospector worm, which was bred in 1982 by Professor A.M. Igonin, to produce vermicompost.

Description of the Prospector worm

The Prospector Worm is a technological earthworm

  • temperature regime for work and reproduction +8 +28 degrees
  • 1 worm per year produces 1500 offspring
  • 1 worm produces 100 kg of vermicompost per year
  • easily switch from one type of feed to another
  • able to work and reproduce at high population densities

Conditions for breeding Prospector worms

  • For a comfortable existence, worms need high soil moisture, therefore, if the soil in the container is dry, it needs to be moistened, for example, using a sprayer.
  • Worms do not like light, so we cover the boxes with black agrofibre, which allows air to pass through.
  • The optimal temperature for the life of the Prospector worm is +8 - +30 degrees.
  • Reproduction. An adult lays eggs once every 5-7 days. Eggs mature in 14-21 days, depending on the temperature in which the eggs are kept. Therefore, you can separate worms into families once a month.
  • The container for keeping worms must be breathable.

How to make vermicompost at home

To produce vermicompost you will need:

  • a box in which they will live and reproduce
  • rotten food for feeding worms
  • water to moisten the substrate

Step 1. Let's assume you have already acquired a family of worms. The first thing to do is move them into a breathable box. A strong wooden box or a plastic fruit box works well for these purposes.

Step 2. Producing vermicompost at home begins with composting household waste. When composting, it is important, especially if it happens in an apartment, that there is no unpleasant odor. Therefore, a container with an airtight lid is suitable for this, we in this case We use a plastic bucket with a tight lid, into which we put all organic vegetable kitchen waste (the worm does not eat meat, it is advisable not to use citrus fruits, they increase acidity, and the worms do not eat vegetable and animal fats).

Worms love rotten food, so we wait for the waste to rot. To speed up this process, waste needs to be crushed and special bacteria () that significantly accelerate decomposition are used; we are currently using “Shine”. To prevent fruit flies from appearing, the waste is sprinkled with a small layer of soil.

Step 3: Feeding the worms. When the waste has rotted enough, we put it in a container with worms on the sides or in the middle. We carefully move the side soil away with our hands so as not to damage the worms and lay out the waste, which we cover with earth on top. Thus, there are no unpleasant odors and no fruit flies.

We also add wheat bran to the surface and to the food, which we lightly moisten with water; worms love them very much.

You can also feed the worms with paper, toilet paper and cardboard, but without chemical paints. To do this, we place pieces of paper on the surface of the earth in which the worms live and use a spray bottle to moisten the paper with water.

You need to feed the worms with a new portion of food when they eat the previous one. Food should be added in small portions.

Step 4. Extracting vermicompost. The next, long-awaited stage is the extraction of vermicompost. Vermicompost accumulates only in the lower part of the container, where the worms have a toilet. To remove it from the container, you need to remove the top layer with worms and remove the vermicompost. We do this when the worms are divided into two families, once a month.

Vermicompost looks like small elongated granules. After extraction, it is dried, scattered in a thin layer.

From the resulting vermicompost you can independently prepare liquid vermicompost. For vegetables, vermicompost is diluted with water 1:100. For indoor plants, dilute 1:50.

This allows you to grow large-scale and environmentally friendly crops. We will tell you in this article what is included in this organic matter, how it differs from other fertilizers and how to make vermicompost with your own hands.

What is vermicompost and how is it used?

Biohumus or vermicompost is a product of processing various organic agricultural wastes. This is precisely why it differs from the same or, which are formed as a result of the action of various bacteria and microorganisms.

Vermicompost has such characteristics as improving the structure of the soil and its water-physical properties. In addition, the concentration of phosphorus in it is somewhat higher than in other organic matter. The advantages of vermicompost also include:

  • content from 10 to 15%;
  • acidity pH 6.5-7.5;
  • absence of foreign bacteria, heavy metal salts;
  • the presence of antibiotics and a large number of microorganisms that participate in soil formation;
  • faster development and more stable immunity in those fed with this organic matter;
  • valid for three to seven years.
Vermicompost is a harmless fertilizer; it cannot spoil either the soil or plants, or harm people, animals or bees, in any proportion and no matter what land it is applied to.
  • for the prevention of plant diseases and their ability to easily tolerate temperature changes;
  • to accelerate the process of seed germination and to increase the number of seedlings;
  • to increase volumes and accelerate crop ripening;
  • for rapid recovery, restoration and increase of soil fertility;
  • to combat harmful insects (effect up to six months);
  • to improve the decorative appearance of flowers.
In addition, the use of this organic matter helps to reduce weeds in agricultural areas. A few words about how to use vermicompost. It is used as the main fertilizer for:
  • planting and sowing plants in open ground and in;
  • feeding all types of agricultural plants;
  • resuscitation and land reclamation;
  • various activities in forestry;
  • fertilizing flower plants and growing herbs.

This organic fertilizer is used throughout the season: from early spring to late autumn.

Vermicompost can be applied to any soil and in any quantities, the recommended application rates are 3-6 tons of dry fertilizer per 1 hectare for large areas, for small areas - 500 g per 1 m².

A liquid solution for watering plants is prepared from 1 liter of vermicompost, which is diluted in 10 liters of warm water.

Biohumus is sold ready-made in granules and in liquid form (aqueous suspension).

Did you know? Americans first started breeding worms on special farms (vermiculture) in the 40s of the last century. Vermiculture then spread to European countries. Today it is best known in Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands and other countries.

It can be easily prepared at home. There are two ways to do this:

  • in open areas;
  • in room.
The first method is more labor-intensive, since it will require more human participation in breeding worms. The second one is used more often, since in closed conditions it is easier to control the temperature and the necessary conditions for the crawling creatures.

In both the first and second cases, it will be necessary to equip a special composter for breeding. On an industrial scale, vermifactories are used for this.

Read more about how to prepare vermicompost in the following subsections. In general, this process consists of five stages:

  • selection of species and purchase of worms;
  • making a composter;
  • composting animals;
  • care and feeding;
  • extraction of worms and vermicompost.

Selecting and purchasing worms for compost

You can find and collect earthworms yourself or purchase them at the store. Most often, red Californian worms are used in vermicultivation (bred on the basis of dung worms in the 50-60s of the twentieth century), but many companies also offer other types: prospector, dung, earthen, Dendrobena Veneta (European worm for fishing).

Experienced vermicompost producers claim that the best of these species for vermicultivation are California red and prospector. The first ones reproduce well, live long (10-16 years), work quickly, but their main disadvantage is intolerance to low temperatures.

Did you know? In one day, one worm is able to pass through its digestive system a volume of soil equal to its body weight. Thus, if we consider that on average this crawling animal weighs about 0.5 g, then 50 individuals in 24 hours on a hectare of land can process 250 kg of soil.

The prospector was also bred from a common dung worm. It is fast in reproducing fertilizer (produces up to 100 kg of vermicompost), is not susceptible to diseases and epidemics, reproduces well (breeds up to 1500 individuals) and is able to tolerate low temperatures - it goes deep into the soil so as not to freeze.
You can purchase worms in specialized stores, including on the Internet, or in vermiculture farms. They are usually sold in families, at least 1,500 pieces each, which includes 10% adults, 80% babies and 10% cocoons. When purchasing animals, you need to pay attention to their mobility and body color.

Composter design

As we have already noted, vermicompost can be prepared both in a summer cottage and in an apartment or house. Any premises are suitable: garage, barn, basement. Some people install worm traps in the bathroom. The main thing is to build a composter or compost pit or heap.

On the street, a home for worms is arranged in the form of a box made of wooden planks without bottom and lid. The box must be placed in a place sheltered from the sun on the ground, in no case on concrete, since excess accumulated water will need a way out.

The sizes can be different, for example 60-100 cm in height, 1-1.3 m in length and width. In an apartment, a house for worms can also be built from a wooden or plastic box (container), or from nested ones inside each other cardboard boxes from under household appliances. Large aquariums are suitable for breeding worms. You can use a plastic sieve placed in a plastic bowl or container.

In order to fit as many worms as possible in a small room, boxes or containers can be placed one on one in several tiers or racks can be made. This way you can place about a million crawling animals on an area of ​​15-20 m².

Preparation of compost (nutrient substrate)

For any species of worms it will be necessary to prepare a nutrient substrate, which should consist of:

  • manure or food waste of plant origin, leaves, tops - one part;
  • sand - 5%;
  • hay (straw) or sawdust - one part.
All types of manure, except fresh, as well as poultry manure, aged for six months, are suitable for compost. There is no need to apply manure produced more than two years ago.

Before placing worms in the composter, the substrate must undergo special treatment - composting. It must be heated to the required temperature over several days. To do this, it is either simply heated in the sun (the desired temperature is easy to achieve from April to September), or lime is added to it (20 kg per 1 ton of raw materials).
Composting should last for 10 days. From the first to the third day the temperature should be at +40 °C, the next two days - at +60...+70 °C, from the seventh to tenth day - +20...+30 °C.

After preparing the compost, you need to test it by running several worms onto the surface. If the animals go deeper after a few minutes, then the compost is ready; if they remain on the surface, the substrate still needs to stand.

The optimal acidity of compost is 6.5-7.5 pH. If the acidity rises above 9 pH, the animals will die within seven days.

You can also check the substrate for acidity using the testing method. Release 50-100 individuals per day. If after given period all individuals will be alive, which means the compost is good. If 5-10 individuals die, it is necessary to lower the acidity by adding chalk or lime, or reduce the alkalinity by adding straw or sawdust.

The optimal compost humidity is 75-90% (will depend on the type of worms). If humidity is below 35% for a week, animals may die.

The most suitable temperature for the life of worms is +20...+24 °C, and at temperatures below -5 °C and above +36 °C the probability of their death is greatest.

Adding (releasing) worms to compost

The worms are carefully laid out over the entire surface of the substrate in the composter. There should be 750-1500 individuals per square meter.

Important! Since worms do not tolerate bright light, the top of the composter must be covered with dark material that allows air to pass through.

Adaptation of animals will be carried out over two to three weeks.

Care and conditions for keeping compost worms

The substrate in the composter is subject to regular loosening and watering. The worms also need to be fed.

Loosening should be done twice a week using a stake or special forks for vermicompost. It is carried out to the entire depth of the substrate, but without mixing.

Water only with warm (+20...+24 °C) and only settled water (at least three days). Chlorinated tap water can kill animals. Rain or melt water is good for irrigation. Watering is convenient using a watering can with small holes.

IN agriculture use fertilizers that are harmful to health. But there is an environmentally friendly alternative. Even at home, you can open vermicompost production as a business. Technology, profitability, and the advantages of producing natural plant food over chemicals are presented in a detailed business plan.

Fertilizers are means to increase productivity and reduce crop diseases. However, pesticides, herbicides and nitrates from the soil end up in food and then into the human body. It is much safer to use organic vermicompost, which has the parameters of chemical fertilizers, but is not harmful to health.

Production process

Biohumus is also called vermicompost or worm compost because original technology production involving worms. The raw materials are fed to the worms, and the output is fertilizer.

The raw material used is a rotted mixture of waste from large cattle, small animals or birds. To increase nutritional properties, leaves, food waste, sawdust, lime and peat are added.

The resulting substrate is placed in wooden boxes or special containers with sides of 25-30 cm and covered with a layer of hay. The compost is watered and stirred over several days to allow it to mature. Then the worms are poured over the raw materials in an even layer and covered with dense, opaque material so that the temperature inside is maintained and light does not enter.

Due to the fact that worms are engaged in vermiculture, they are called technological. Actually it's earthworms Californian or Vladimir variety. To process 1 sq. m. of humus requires 1500-3000 individuals.

The process of processing the substrate into vermicompost lasts 4-5 months. During this time, you need to care for the beds and maintain the microclimate:

  1. Carefully loosen the soil when it cakes.
  2. Add nutrients three times a month.
  3. Water with warm, settled water to maintain humidity at 70%.
  4. Maintain the temperature not lower than 19°C and not higher than 30°C.

Advice from experienced producers: before populating boxes with thousands of worms, you need to test the quality of the nutrient medium on ten to twenty individuals.

Worms not only process the substrate into fertilizer, but also reproduce. The growth is determined in this way: 10 square meters are collected from the box. cm of soil and the number of worms in it is calculated, the resulting figure is multiplied by 100. They begin to choose vermicompost when the vermiculture population exceeds standard values.

Collection is carried out in two ways:

  • Sift the whole mass through a sieve.
  • A little fresh humus is poured into the box and the worms come up in search of food. The procedure is repeated several times, removing a layer of soil each time. The remaining mass is vermicompost.

From 10 kg of substrate, about 5 kg of fertilizer is obtained, and the number of worms increases by 5-10 times. The surplus population is sold to fishermen or entrepreneurs starting humus production.

Business plan

To start a project, you need to draw up a business plan for the production of vermicompost:

  1. Organizing a site for a farm.
  2. Purchase of equipment, tools and materials.
  3. Purchase of raw materials and worms.
  4. Business registration.
  5. Sales organization.
  6. Economic calculations.

Area

The production of vermicompost as a business is opened in several ways:

  • Based on an already existing agricultural area, for example.
  • Launched as a separate project.

In the first case, you will need to allocate a barn, an empty barn, or even part of a basement. In the second, you will have to rent territory, preferably not far from a poultry farm or livestock farm. To produce trial small batches of fertilizer, an entrepreneur can start production at home.

Depending on the planned scale of production, it is necessary to equip an area of ​​up to 80 square meters. m. for placement of beds, packaging equipment, warehouse finished products. Experts believe that the average annual volume of vermicompost production on a site of 1 sq. m. is 300 kg.

To maintain the necessary conditions and microclimate, the farm premises must be equipped with heating, ventilation, water supply, and electricity. To minimize heat loss in winter, you need to fill the floors with concrete, caulk all holes in the walls, including windows, and lower the ceiling as low as possible.

Equipment

To produce humus at home, it is enough to build boxes for the substrate, purchase working tools, scales, plastic bags, and a sealing machine. Temperature and humidity can be adjusted manually using readings from measuring instruments.

Industrial production of vermicompost requires more serious investments in equipment:

  1. Rack installation for filling humus with worms.
  2. Drip irrigation system.
  3. Crusher.
  4. Mechanical sieve for sifting humus.
  5. Packing equipment.
  6. Instruments for measuring and controlling the microclimate in the room and substrate.
  7. Shovels, buckets, carts.
  8. Tractor with trailer for moving large volumes of manure.

If you additionally engage in the production of aqueous extract from vermicompost, then the cost of equipment will increase several times. Manufacturing technology involves the use of extractors, equipment for fermentation and purification of the product.

Raw materials and worms

2 main components for the production of vermicompost:

  • manure;
  • worms

The larger the volume planned to be produced, the more raw materials need to be purchased. That is why a highly profitable business with low cost is possible on an animal or poultry farm where there is constant access to free manure. If raw materials are purchased from outside, then preference is given to cattle manure.

The substrate also includes compost, sawdust, and hay. According to technology, before waste becomes suitable for worms to eat, it must rot within 5-6 months. To store a mass of humus, you need to equip a special site or enter into an agreement with a supplier for the delivery of already matured raw materials.

Red Californian worms are used in the production of vermicompost for the following reasons:

  1. Lifespan is 4 times longer than ordinary earthworms.
  2. The reproduction rate is 10 times higher.
  3. High resistance to diseases.

There are Vladimir worms bred by Russian developers that are superior to Californian worms in certain indicators. They buy worms from vermifarmers, who breed them on an industrial scale.

Registration

To receive legal income from the sale of vermicompost, you must register a business. The form is suitable for operating a small farm individual entrepreneurship, it is better to formalize large-scale production as a company with limited liability. It is advantageous to pay taxes using a simplified scheme.

No special permits or licenses are required for the production of vermicompost. When concluding sales agreements with stores and farms, you will need a quality certificate for the products.

Sales

The main difficulty of business planning is to establish constant sales of fertilizers. The target audience very extensive:

  • private farms;
  • state agricultural enterprises;
  • plant nurseries;
  • flower shops;
  • fisheries;
  • greenhouse owners;
  • summer residents.

Vermicompost is usually sold in plastic bags weighing 1 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, 20 kg. The easiest way is to sell products through a wholesale network; it is enough to find one or two buyers for large quantities. You can open a point in the market, create an online store.

To inform buyers about the advantages and benefits of vermicompost, you need to create packaging with text printed on it, which will indicate the characteristics of the fertilizer, rules of use, and expected yield.

Also, do not forget about advertising in specialized magazines, newspapers, and the Internet. Agricultural fairs and exhibitions are held in many localities; it is necessary to take part in them with samples of finished products.

Economic calculations

Calculating the costs of starting a project allows you to estimate the size of the required investments in the production of vermicompost. Calculations are given for developing a business at home using 20 tons of your own raw materials:

expenditures Amount, rub.
1 Preparing the premises 60 000
2 Equipment 120 000
3 Worms, substrate additives 30 000
4 Sales costs 20 000
5 Other costs 10 000
Total 240 000

For six months, while the worms produce humus, you need to pay public utilities. In winter, heating costs account for the majority of expenses.

Average market price in retail network for 1 kg of vermicompost is 15 rubles, in bulk - 7 rubles/kg. Worms are bought in packs of 30 rubles. for 50 pcs. Also, if there is demand, you can sell earthen mixtures based on vermicompost. Calculation of annual income from the sale of produced fertilizer and:

During the first year of operation of the farm, the invested funds will be fully recouped, the profitability of the business is 100%. It is possible to increase profitability by increasing production volumes. In this case, the farmer will have to hire assistants and include wages and taxes in the estimate.

Any business in agriculture is associated with many difficulties, vermiculture is no exception. It is economically profitable to produce organic fertilizers only at low costs, which is possible if you have your own raw material base.

Modern people prefer to buy organic vegetables grown using vermicompost. This is a very valuable technology that helps preserve human health. In addition, this is one of the quite promising and profitable directions activities for aspiring entrepreneurs. We will talk about how to start humus production at home in this article.

Why do you need vermicompost?

Almost all fields in our country are contaminated with pesticides and various mineral fertilizers. Farmers constantly complain that crop yields decrease every year and, accordingly, profits decrease. Pests and all kinds of diseases destroy plants right at the root.

Vermicompost is an organic fertilizer that has unique properties. Of course, this is not a panacea that can solve all problems, but nevertheless, such a drug has real help. Nowadays, it is widely used in agriculture instead of chemical fertilizers for growing organic vegetables.

Business Features

It is most convenient to produce vermicompost at home for those people who raise cattle. In this case, the entrepreneur will not have to purchase raw materials. California red worms are most often used to produce this organic fertilizer. They live 4 times longer than ordinary earthworms and reproduce much more actively. You can purchase these amazing worms online. They are delivered to any region of our country without any problems. Before you start this business, you need to draw up a detailed business plan for the production of vermicompost. This will help you correctly plan all stages of your activity and organize your work correctly.

Technological process

Now let’s figure out where to start producing vermicompost. First of all, you need to prepare the substrate and purchase worms. This matter should be approached very responsibly. Typically, worms are purchased from specialized vermifarms. The genetic population must contain at least 1500 individuals, which will include both young worms and cocoons. Before purchasing worms for vermicompost, prepare a place for them. You can use compost heaps or ordinary wooden boxes for this. Also, read about at home.

Scheme: Production of vermicompost

Traditional technology for the production of vermicompost consists of four stages:

  1. Preparation of nutrient substrate. Bird droppings and cattle manure are used as compost. To improve its quality, you can add vegetable leaves, food waste, as well as a mixture of peat and lime at the rate of 20 kg per 1 ton of substrate;
  2. Bookmarking worms. This stage requires careful preparation and attentive attitude. For 1 sq. 750–1500 worms are laid per meter of compost. They are evenly distributed over the entire surface along with the nutrient substrate. Since worms do not like bright light, the pile should be covered with dark material that does not allow air to pass through;
  3. Feeding. Ridges with worms should be loosened and watered periodically, because they are very sensitive to decreased humidity. Watering is carried out with settled water, the temperature of which is 20–24 degrees. The compost in the bin is divided into three zones. The top layer is food for the worms. It should be replenished periodically to provide them with nutrition;
  4. Sampling of vermicompost and worms. After the density of worms in the nutrient substrate begins to exceed permissible limits, there is a need to sample them. First, the worms are kept hungry for several days, after which a layer of food is applied to which they move. After 2-3 days it is removed along with the worms. The procedure is repeated 3 more times over 3 weeks. The remaining vermicompost is collected with a scoop, dried a little and packaged for storage.

WITH home production vermicompost can be obtained stable high profits, if you find sales channels for finished products in advance.

Equipment

To produce organic fertilizers in larger volumes, it is necessary to purchase special equipment for the production of vermicompost. You will need composters and a mechanical sieve to sift the finished fertilizer. In addition, you need to buy scales and a special packaging device.

It is worth noting that the price of equipment for the production of vermicompost largely depends on the type of construction. Approximately you will have to spend from 50 to 125 thousand rubles. A sieve and scales will cost you 30–40 thousand rubles. You also need to purchase working equipment - shovels, carts, instruments for measuring soil acidity and temperature. You will spend another 30–40 thousand rubles on this.

Sales

Before you draw up a business plan for vermicompost, you need to find reliable sales channels. The success of your enterprise largely depends on this.

Pure vermicompost is sold in bags of various sizes. In addition, you can also sell worms. They are bought by poultry farms, fishermen, pet stores, as well as producers of organic fertilizers.

The main consumers of vermicompost are owners of personal plots, farms and flower nurseries. Fertilizers are purchased in large quantities by wholesalers for further resale. Since the cost of vermicompost is quite affordable, this product is in great demand. There are usually no special problems with its implementation.

Financial calculations

You will have to spend 150–500 thousand rubles on the purchase of equipment and worms. In addition, you need to take into account constant payments - wages to workers, raw materials, payments for utilities.

Now let's talk about income. To calculate them, you need to find out how much vermicompost costs. One kilogram of organic fertilizers sells for 10–15 rubles. If you produce about 15 tons of vermicompost per year, the net income will be 150–200 thousand rubles. To increase profits, you can mix pure vermicompost with other substrates. The initial investment pays off in 1.5–2 years. The profitability of the enterprise reaches 150–170%. In the future, income will only grow.

Vermicompost production

  • Before setting up the production of vermicompost as a business, you should familiarize yourself with all the nuances of this line of activity;
  • First of all, you should remember that rats, moles and other rodents feed on earthworms. Therefore, worm containers should be placed in a room with hard floors and impenetrable walls;
  • In addition, you should consider how you will store and transport semi-liquid fertilizers. As a rule, tractor trailers are used for this. In addition, you should take care of packaging. Mostly, such products are purchased in small quantities, so appropriate packaging will be required.

conclusions

Experts believe that the production of vermicompost using worms is a fairly promising and profitable line of business. Of course, it won’t make you a millionaire in 2-3 years, but despite this, you can make a good profit from selling vermicompost. To succeed in this area, you need to constantly look for new wholesale buyers. This will help you get a positive result.
