This job is something that most of us do not see very often. Worm famers as the name suggests farm worms. Actually, these guys make use of earthworms to make compost out of organic materials such as leftover food scraps. The more exact term will be vermicomposting.

Job scope

It simply involves mixing some organic matter with earthworms and keep them in a container. The earthworms overtime will ingest these scraps and pass them out as worm casts. These worm casts are excellent fertiliser, a secret farmers have known for years. By putting them in containers with ideal moisture levels and temperature, speeds up nature.

The fertiliser produced from such process is totally chemical free, unlike most garden fertiliser. Hence, it does not pollute the environment. A great way to start conserving the environment.
