Since the world has been so polluted and dirty when the technological era arrived, there are rubbish and garbage everywhere thus, making the soil futile than ever before.
Having a futile soil is a threat to human beings because this will lessen the chance of people to produce more crops and plants that is needed for food. But because of the fact that vermiculture is on the rise today everyone don’t have anything to worry about. This term refers to describe a process called worm farming. After the digestion process, there are remnants which remain and they are called castings. These are considered one of the safest and best fertilizers which are very ideal for crop growth and production as well. In farming, the best type of soil that is known to all is topsoil. But did you know that these castings are richer in several nutrient types as compared to topsoil? Not only that! Since in farming the number one and ultimate enemies of plants and farmers are the pests, this can also be a great pest repellent that is naturally produced.
