Quoting from [gty82]:

Somebody can teach me how to manufacture the worm waste as fertilizer product? And someone can tell what is the price in the market now?

Thank you for your help~!

It's really very simple. Just make sure you feed your worms only soft organic matter without any "aggressive" substances (like hot pepper, onion, orange ppeels, etc.), though after some of drying they can be used, too. Moisture shouldn't be too low (now problem in your country, I guess), but the mixture shouldn't be soaked either. It's also a good idea to sprinkle small quantities of fine, sharp sand over this mixture, as worms don't have teeth. They use the sharp sand in their mouth as "teeth" to grind down their feed.

Though if you have a commercial operation in mind, you better google for "vermiculture". There you'll find a lot of info to set up your operation, and you can even find professional counseling, of you feel uneasy about doing it all by yourself. But again, it's very easy - so much that some people do it in their garage, a small greenhouse, etc. And your sellable products are both worms (good as feed for carnivores and omnivors, as well as for the soil) and the vermicompost as a fertilizer.

Dear sir,

I have been researching on vermicompost since last 2 years and it is not as easy as it sounds.There are atleast 26 modifications and people who do it in their garage probably do not have the complete knowledge i am from India Kolkata and our country has vastly experinced people having knoledge about organic fertlizers which includes vermicompost.

Vermiculture and vermicompost are also not the same thing which again is the general notion.You can also make pesticdides through vermiculture and cow dung is the most important material require.

The best worm breeds for production of the manure are esina foetida and eudrillus eugiene.

If i can reach you somewhere i can explain in details.

Thank you
