This builds the soil microbial base for the year ahead. ☀️ Summer (Apr–Jun) Every 3–4 weeks Vermicompost improves water retention significantly — critical in Indian summer heat. Apply and water deeply. Mulch over vermicompost to reduce evaporation. ��️ Monsoon (Jul–Sep) Before rains begin, then once mid-monsoon Apply before monsoon as heavy rain will work nutrients in slowly. Avoid applying during peak rain — nutrients may leach. Side-dress near stems, away from surface. �� Post-Monsoon (Oct–Nov) Every 4–5 weeks Best time for flowering plants and fruiting vegetables. Excellent season for bulb crops and winter vegetables. Apply before Diwali planting season. ❄️ Winter (Dec–Jan) Every 6–8 weeks Plant metabolism slows — reduce frequency but don’t stop. Winter vegetables (peas, beans, leafy greens) actively need nutrition. Cold temperatures slow microbial action but don’t stop it. 5kg best practice: Store the unused portion in the sealed bag or transfer to an airtight container in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight which can dry and heat the compost, reducing microbial activity. Moisture content should feel like a wrung-out sponge — not dry, not soggy. Properly stored, 5kg lasts 4–6 months without any degradation in quality. �� Pack Details — 5kg Vermicompost Net Weight 5 kg Price Per Kg ₹79.8/kg Pots Served 20 pots/month Best For Terrace Kitchen Garden Supply Duration 4–6 Months Certification Chemical-Free Verified Frequently Asked Questions How much of the 5kg will I use per month?－ For a terrace garden of 15–20 medium pots, expect to use approximately 1–1.5kg per month with monthly top-dressing. For a kitchen garden with 5–8 large grow bags for vegetables plus 10 smaller pots, expect to use 1.5–2kg per month during active growing season. The 5kg therefore gives 3–5 months of supply for a typical urban terrace or kitchen garden — making it the most economical choice for regular gardeners. Can vermicompost be used with other organic fertilizers?＋ Yes — vermicompost combines excellently with other organic fertilizers. Popular combinations: Vermicompost neem cake (neem cake adds pest control and additional nitrogen). Vermicompost banana peel powder (potassium boost for flowering and fruiting). Vermicompost onion peel liquid (sulphur and potassium). Vermicompost wood ash (calcium and potassium). Avoid combining vermicompost with chemical/synthetic fertilizers as the salt content of chemical fertilizers can harm the beneficial microorganisms in vermicompost. Is 5kg vermicompost enough for a full terrace garden?＋ For a typical Indian terrace garden of 200–400 square feet with 20–30 pots and 3–5 grow bags, 5kg provides approximately 4–5 months of monthly top-dressing at standard application rates. For a larger setup or raised bed terrace farming, you may use 5kg every 2–3 months. For smaller balcony gardens with under 10 pots, the 1kg pack (₹199) may actually be more practical — it is enough for 2–3 months of care without the storage of a larger bag. Can I use this for organic vegetable farming on my terrace?＋ Absolutely — this is one of the most common use cases for our 5kg vermicompost. Terrace vegetable farming for tomatoes, brinjal, chillies, capsicum, leafy greens, herbs, and even cucumbers and bottle gourds in large grow bags. Vermicompost is the preferred fertilizer for organic vegetables precisely because it is safe for consumption, provides complete nutrition, and progressively improves the growing medium over multiple growing cycles. Your second crop in the same grow bag will typically perform even better than the first. Why choose Farmers Basics over other vermicompost brands?＋ Three reasons: First, sourcing — our vermicompost is made from pure cow dung through a controlled vermicomposting process, not a mix of municipal waste or undefined organic matter that some cheap brands use. Second, moisture content — we process to the correct moisture level (a wrung-out sponge feel) so the microbial content is alive and active when it reaches you. Over-dried vermicompost has reduced microbial activity. Third, price — at ₹399 for 5kg (₹79.8/kg), we offer genuine quality at a price that makes consistent organic gardening economically realistic for Indian home gardeners.
