The second is the introduction of worms into the pines, where they are bred, and the third is the preparation of manure from them. The production of vermicompost is simple but requires control and practice, so it can be done by any farmer.

There are many benefits to using worm manure as Papa Bio explains. First of all, the natural components it contains, which are essential for plants. any type of plant suits it. Second, worm manure fights parasites. Third, the availability of organic products using them, which are good for health.

Economically, the market for organic products is in high demand, not only locally but also on the international market. The price of the product is also good, which is much higher than the product using the input containing the chemical element.
