Saudi Farmer In Al Baha Turns Heads With Revolutionary Worm-Based Fertilizer
In Al-Dhafir village, Baha, Saudi farmer Mohammed Al-Shaer has turned a common garden problem into an amazing solution with his new worm-based fertilizer!
He started with a simple setup: a 5-meter-long tank filled with 2,000 earthworms. Fed with dry leaves, food scraps, and organic waste, these worms quickly produced over 300 kg of rich compost and grew their population tenfold. Now, with four tanks in operation, Al-Shaer’s farm creates enough fertilizer to nourish about 250 trees.
His worm-based fertilizer is a game-changer!
This worm-based fertilizer is a game-changer for plant growth, boosting fruit production and improving soil health. “Worms naturally improve soil and make nutrients more available for plants,” Al-Shaer says. His big plan is to expand his project and share this eco-friendly method at agricultural festivals across Saudi Arabia. He aims to show other farmers the benefits of using natural fertilizers over harmful chemical ones.
It’s gaining wide-spread attention for its sustainability
