Worm humus<\/strong> is the result of the digestive transformation of organic matter carried out by earthworms and is considered one of the best natural fertilizers available.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” border_color_left=”gcid-3d22bfca-064e-4ba7-9dfc-e7f07f9cfa30″ global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-3d22bfca-064e-4ba7-9dfc-e7f07f9cfa30%22:%91%22border_color_left%22%93}”]<\/p>\n

The use of this type of fertilizer dates back to ancient times. The Romans and even earlier the Egyptians used Vermicompost for their lush crops. The peculiarities of this compound were so appreciated in the land of the Nile that Cleopatra designated the earthworm as a sacred animal in order to protect it from human hands and ensure the natural fertilization of the soil. Currently in the USA, this fertilizer is aptly called “Black Magic.”<\/p>\n

The earthworm<\/strong>, thanks to the powerful action of its digestive system, is able to bio-degrade organic matter in a few hours, a process that would naturally take several months, generating a product with a uniform granular consistency, a cylindrical shape, a dark brown or black color, and a pleasant scent of fresh soil.<\/p>\n
