Largely, we talk about heavy usage of chemical fertilizers in India. These fertilizers are not only relatively expensive and toxic, they also consume more water and leave plants dependent. Cow dung, or gobar, is also often burned by families to use as fuel, which affects women and their health. Vermicompost is a superior alternative to these fertilizers as it is efficient, low-cost, and natural. Vermicompost has the ability to improve the soil structure and increase its water-holding capacity, and is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. In many ways, it is the most non-violent form accelerator of plant growth, while also being the oldest and most nutritious. Through vermicomposting and micro-enterprises, farmers can yield better results with low investment while caring for the soil.
