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!<\/h2>\n

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\u2019s farm creates enough fertilizer to nourish about 250 trees.<\/p>\n

His worm-based fertilizer is a game-changer!<\/h2>\n

This worm-based fertilizer is a game-changer for plant growth, boosting fruit production and improving soil health. \u201cWorms naturally improve soil and make nutrients more available for plants,\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

It’s gaining wide-spread attention for its sustainability<\/h2>\n

Local officials, including Fahd Al-Zahrani from the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture, are excited about Al-Shaer\u2019s work. Dr. Lubna Saad from Al-Baha University emphasizes how worms turn waste into high-quality fertilizer, which helps soil hold more water and stay healthy. This makes it a fantastic and sustainable choice for farmers.<\/p>\n

At the recent Khayrat Al-Baha Festival, farmers praised Al-Shaer\u2019s fertilizer, noting significant improvements in their crops. Al-Shaer\u2019s innovative approach is not only transforming his own farm but also setting a great example for sustainable farming practices in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"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!
