I started breeding these worms and began commercialising this product,” says Sana. “During the project I became fascinated with and attached to the worms and thought - why not implement this project on a large scale. During her fourth year at college she had to work on a vermicomposting project prior to which she had no knowledge of the practice.Īs Sana began to see the multiple benefits of this method and realised its limited practical application by farmers, she decided to implement her ongoing project on the field. Sana had always dreamed of becoming a doctor but when she couldn’t clear the medical entrance exams she joined IMS Engineering College in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh to pursue her BTech. Sana, an engineer by education, was fascinated by earthworms after taking part in a college project on vermicomposting, which led her to set up her own business. Amidst the bustling city you will find Sana Khan, the owner of SJ Organics, practising vermicomposting, a method that may be as old as the buildings themselves. Adverse weather conditions (overly hot or cold) can delay shipment until weather conditions improve.In the state of Uttar Pradesh, lies the ancient city of Meerut, lined with buildings that date back to the Indus Valley era.

Remember, red wigglers reproduce quickly and your worm population should double every 90 days or so until the density is limited by the size of your bin and the frequency and size of feedings. Most home worm bins are 2 square feet or more. We recommend 1 pound of worms for each square foot of your worm bin. There are approximately 1000 worms per pound.

We estimate that we typically have roughly 5000 red wigglers per cubic foot living in our worm bins. They live in colonies and can handle high density. Red wiggler worms live within the top 6 inches of soil making them well suited for the shallow box conditions of a standard worm bin. You can expect to double your red wiggler worm population every 90 days or so.

And they reproduce more quickly than larger worm species. They are extremely hardy, can tolerate a wide range of temperatures and soil pH, and are easy to care for. Red wigglers consume up to half their body weight in food scraps on a daily basis. There are more than 2700 species of worms on the planet, and red wigglers are the very best for composting food and garden waste. Our business is all about worms and the nutrient and microbial richness of their castings. TerraVesco has been providing red wiggler worms ( Eisenia fetida) to home gardeners for nearly 30 years.
