The soil on the farm can be saturated with nutrients and nutrients using chemical fertilizers. But experienced farmers prefer organic fertilizers and minimize the use of chemistry.

“For example, biohumus can serve as an excellent fertilizer for soil and plants,” says Alexander Shcherbina, who has successfully managed the Dacha private farm for many years. - This fertilizer of organic origin is produced by the best friends of all gardeners - earthworms. A variety of bacteria from food and agricultural waste help them. ”

Today, Alexander’s assets include keeping chickens, growing cucumbers, raspberries, and blueberries. As well as breeding "personnel" to create vermicompost - California earthworms.

“Only those farmers who use vermicompost in their activities can receive a certificate for the production of environmentally friendly and organic products,” Shcherbina notes expertly. “For this, I keep the California worm in my household.”

This breed of worms was bred at the end of the fifties of the last century by employees of one of the California institutes. Today, around the world, farmers contain these worms in special containers, where the California "workaholic" recycles waste and secrete a special "juice", which is used as fertilizer.
