Ahmed Anbazov, a resident of Sadovoe village in the Moskovsky district, has turned organic waste into a productive business by breeding red Californian worms. What began as a small experiment in 2024 has grown into a significant agricultural venture.
Growth of the vermiculture farm
Driven by an interest in improving soil fertility through agriculture, Anbazov started his business with a modest investment. He utilized the windrow method, feeding the worms a compost base of manure and straw, supplemented by organic vegetable and fruit waste such as onions, carrots, pumpkins, and potatoes.
Farm scale evolution
The primary output of the farm is vermicompost, a natural organic fertilizer produced as the worms process organic matter. This product is used to enhance soil structure and fertility.
