For Small Pots
For Kitchen Garden
For Small Pots
Initial Planting
- Mix 1 part vermicompost with 3 parts potting soil.
- Fill the pot with this blend before planting.
Periodic Maintenance
- Gently remove the top 2-3 cm layer of soil.
- Sprinkle 100–200 g of vermicompost evenly as a top dressing.
- Re-cover with the removed soil and pat lightly.
- Water immediately to activate nutrients.
- Reapply after 15 days.
For Big Pots
For Kitchen Garden
For Small Pots
Initial Planting
- Mix 2 parts vermicompost with 5 parts garden soil and 1 part sand or cocopeat for improved aeration.
- Fill the pot with this blend and plant as usual.
- For extra boost, add 100–150 g vermicompost at the root zone during planting.
Periodic Maintenance
- Gently loosen the top 4–5 cm of soil without disturbing roots.
- Apply 250–500 g of vermicompost per pot as a top dressing, depending on pot size and plant demand.
- Re-cover with loosened soil.
- Reapply after 15 days.

Soil Preparation (Before Planting)
- Mix 350–450 g of vermicompost per sq. ft of garden bed.
- Blend thoroughly into the top 15–20 cm of soil a week before sowing or transplanting.
- Optionally, mix in biochar for added soil vitality.
Planting Time
- At the time of sowing or transplanting, apply a handful (~100 g) of vermicompost directly into the planting hole or row.
- This gives seedlings a strong start and enhances root development.
Regular Top Dressing
- Every 15–20 days, apply 100–150 g/ft² around the base of established plants.
- Lightly loosen the soil, top-dress with vermicompost, then water immediately.

For Kitchen Garden
At Planting Stage
- Mix 2–3 kg of vermicompost with the pit soil during planting.
- Optionally add 500 g biochar to enhance moisture retention and microbial activity.
- Place the enriched mix around the root zone and water thoroughly.
For Established Trees
- Young Trees (1–3 years): Apply 2–5 kg vermicompost per tree.
- Mature Trees (4+ years): Apply 5–10 kg vermicompost per tree, depending on canopy size and soil fertility.
- Remove mulch (if any) and lightly loosen the top 6–8 cm of soil around the drip line (canopy edge).
- Evenly broadcast the vermicompost and re-mulch after application.
- Irrigate immediately to activate microbial life and nutrient release.
For Large Fields
For Fruit Orchards
For Large Fields
Soil Preparation (Before Sowing)
- Apply 1 to 2 tons of vermicompost per acre depending on soil health and crop demand.
- Spread evenly across the field and incorporate into the top 15–20 cm of soil during final tillage.
- For maximum microbial activity, apply 7–10 days before sowing.
At Sowing or Transplanting
- Apply 200–250 g per planting hole for row crops (e.g., brinjal, tomato, papaya).
- For line-sown crops, apply 100–150 g/meter row within the seed trench.
Top Dressing (At Mid-Crop Stage)
- Side-dress with 200–400 kg/acre around the root zone at 20–30 days after sowing or during vegetative growth.
- Lightly incorporate into the soil and irrigate immediately.
APPLICATION METHODOLOGY OF VERMIWASH
For Plants
- Foliar Spray: Mix 1 liter of vermiwash with 10 liters of water and spray on leaves in the early morning or evening.
- Soil Application: Apply near the root zone to improve soil health and root growth.
- Seedling Dip: Dip plant cuttings or seedlings in diluted vermiwash before transplanting to boost survival and vigor
