Welcome to the world of Organic Fertilizers :
Vermiculture
and its applications are now recognized as one of the best
ways to restore soil health. Earthworms are now synonymous
with organic farming. Organic inputs help build healthier
plants, which naturally discourages attacks from pests. Composting
imitates nature’s way to rebuilding soil back by encouraging
decomposition of organic substances, but it does so more rapidly
because of heat, microbes, and then the worms combine to speed
up the process.
Vermicompost technology has been perfected by using surface
dwelling species of earthworms. Vermicompost is sustainable
supplementary organic fertilizer regenerated by using earthworms.It
also contains plant growth promoters like auxins and cytokinins,
enzymes, vitamins and useful microorganisms like bacteria,
actinomycetes, protozoans, fungi and others.
Our
product contains what is called as worm casting. These are
excretions of earthworms, which are biologically active. This
means that they contain all kinds of beneficial bacteria,
enzymes and manure that are not digested by the earthworms.
It is also found that the bacterial population in the casting
is much higher than any soil or pre-digested manure. This
is due to content called humus. This is a direct output from
breakdown of any organic matter. Humus helps hold nutrients
like iron, potassium, sulfur calcium, phosphorus, thus keeping
them available for plants directly. One of the advantages
with worm casting is that they dissolve slowly; this helps
retention of nutrients for a longer period of time.
Vermicompost in addition to their use as potting soil can
also be used as mulch so that the ground gets the minerals
and nutrients directly when watered. This helps your soil
become more fertile, and increases its ability to retain its
nutrients and minerals longer. Vermicompost is an immediate
food for your plant as they tend to dissolve easily when watered.
During this process all the minerals and nutrients are absorbed
directly by your plant. This directly increases the productivity
of your plant.
Vermicompost
has excellent water retention ability. They also protect roots
from extreme temperature, and reduce erosion. Unlike other
fertilizers Vermicompost is totally odorless, this makes them
easy to handle and use and your hand will not contain the
foul odor for hours after its applications. Since this contains
no chemical residue they are not harmful to the human health.
Little
Know Friend Earthworms :
During the olden days, earthworms were called farmers best
friend. This is due the fact that they help nourish the soil
naturally. Earthworms consume biodegradable matter and lay
the casting on the soil, which acts as a natural fertilizer.
This help in higher yield of crops to the farmer. Earth worms
while they move about in the soil leave their passage through
which air penetrates and re-vitalize the soil.
Earthworms
are also known to fright against some pests. Since the movement
of the earthworms is vast they also act as a natural low-level
plough. This when the land is not used for agriculture may
not be of much consequences but, when the crop is laid, no
cow or tractor can plough the soil to aerate, on the other
hand this low level plough lets air go through the soil thus
helping the crop, which in turn increases yield.

Why
Use Organic Fertilizers?
One
advantage of organic fertilizers is that their nutrients are
doled out as a steady diet in synch with plant needs. Because
the nutrients come from natural sources, a portion of them
may be temporarily unavailable to plants until released by
a combination of warmth and moisture -- the same conditions
plants need to grow. Released slowly, the nutrients from organic
fertilizers are unlikely to burn plant roots or be leached
away by water. And a single application may last a whole growing
season.
You
also might choose organic fertilizers for philosophical or
environmental reasons. Organic fertilizers generally place
fewer demands on energy resources, and they offer opportunities
to recycle "garbage."The
more concentrated a fertilizer (even an organic one), the
less organic matter it contains. Fertilizers containing high
concentrations of nitrogen, when used alone, can actually
deplete soil organic matter, so if you use any such fertilizer,
apply plenty of bulky organic matter, too. Dig materials such
as straw, peat, compost, and leaves into the soil, or lay
them on as mulch.
Naturally occurring mineral fertilizers are organic in the
"not-synthetic" sense, but because they don't contain
organic matter, they're not included in this list. Among them
are Chilean nitrate, rock phosphate, greensand, and sulfate
of potash magnesia.
Organic fertilizer; a rich, well-fed soil is all that most
plants need to keep them growing vigorously. Few soils are
naturally with organic fertilizer so gardeners can enhance
the fertility of their soils by adding organic fertilizer.
Not only will organic fertilizer provide a wide array of nutrients
to the soil, organic fertilizer will encourage microbial activity,
which allows the organic fertilizer to provide nutrients over
a longer period of time. Unlike chemical fertilizers, the
nutrients in organic fertilizers are less likely to leach
away in rainwater.
In the range of organic fertilizers, gardeners are not limited
to manure & compost. Although these fertilizers are abundant
and easy to find, they can be the source of weed seeds and
chicken & steer manure can be contaminated with antibiotics
and other agrochemicals used in raising these animals. Alternatively,
there are numerous other sources of organic fertilizer including
alfalfa meal, canola meal, rock phosphate, bone meal, kelp
meal, and greensand. All of these fertilizers are organic
and naturally occurring, but it is important to choose the
right one for your plants' needs
