Vermi in Cambodia - 5th June to 21st June 2010

We have done a pilot project in Cambodia during June Holiday and has successfully produced the fertilizers with some students of the school where we are going to put forward the project in the future. The project will be proposed as part of the Home Economics curriculum in needy school in Cambodia. Here are some pictures that we had taken during our time in Cambodia.

Vermi production - 3rd May to 3rd June

Vermi is produced using the vermi-composting method which requires blue worms and unwanted vegetable.
The bedding of the worms are alternative layers of wet newspaper and soil. The production of fertilizer can be done inside the pail with the help of blue worms. Feeding the worms with vegetable and watering must be done everyday to keep the worms alive. The worms are able to reproduce at a very fast rate.
Fertilizers produced by the worms are actually their droppings which can be found above the newspaper layer after 1 month. On average, 1 kg of worms can decompose 1kg of vegetable to produce 1 kg of fertilizers in one month.

All about Vermi - 18th March 2010

Today Vermi is born. V-group of Saint Andrew's Junior College has created Vermi with the hope that they can help to achieve environment sustainability by replacing the harmful chemical fertilizers with an affordable organic fertilizer.

Vermi is produced by vermin-composting which requires blue worms and unwanted vegetable. Since Vermi is an organic fertilizer, it will help to maintain and improve the soil quality over time. Vermi will be produce in Cambodia to create employment for the needy women. Part of the profit from the selling of Vermi will be given to the needy students in Cambodia to encourage them to go to school or to continue their study in agriculture field.
