WHY SOIL TATTVA?
Soil Tattva, derived from the Sanskrit term meaning "essence of the soil," represents a revolutionary approach to organic fertilisation. Crafted through a "green process," this nutritive fertiliser harnesses the natural potency of cattle dung and the industrious efforts of Eisenia fetida earthworms. This innovative method not only enhances soil fertility but also promotes sustainable agricultural practices. Sourced directly from dedicated farmers who prioritize environmental stewardship, Soil Tattva is packed on the farms themselves, ensuring freshness and preserving its inherent nutritional value. By bypassing intermediaries, this direct-to-customer model fosters transparency and strengthens the bond between farmers and consumers.
Mahatma Gandhi once rightly said, "The land is truly alive,
it breathes, it hears, it speaks, and it demands respect and care."
OUR PRODUCTS
Vermicompost
Soil Tattva Vermicompost is a fully natural organic fertilizer sourced directly from farmers. It is produced by layering cattle dung in Vermi beds on farms, where Eisenia Fetida Earthworms are introduced. These earthworms consume the dung, transforming it into nutrient-rich vermicompost, which is inherently rich in NPK.
BENEFITS:
Acts as an exceptional soil conditioner.
Enhances soil fertility physically, chemically, and biologically.
Soil treated with vermicompost exhibits improved aeration, porosity, bulk density, and water retention.
Chemical properties such as pH, electrical conductivity, and organic matter content are enhanced, leading to better crop yields.
HOW & WHEN TO USE:
Agriculture:
For agricultural purposes, apply vermicompost at a rate of 3 tons per acre. To enhance its effectiveness, consider mixing it with an equal amount of dried cow dung. Broadcast this mixture during seeding or when the plants reach a height of 5–6 inches.
Home Garden:
In your home garden, incorporate vermicompost into the potting soil using a ratio of 1 part vermicompost to 3 parts soil. Additionally, for monthly fertilization, sprinkle a handful of vermicast over the top layer of potted plants.
When to Apply:
Apply vermicompost after soil tillage and before planting. It's beneficial to maintain the compost near or at the soil surface, as this is where new plants are developing. You can also introduce soil amendments while plants are actively growing.

Vermiwash
Vermi wash or worm casting tea is a nutrient-rich liquid fertiliser made from vermicompost, which is essentially worm castings (worm waste) produced through vermicomposting.
Encircling the vermiculture bed on the farm is a purpose-built pathway, strategically placed to gather Vermi wash efficiently. Through the gentle application of water onto the vermiculture bed, moisture seeps into the compost, with any surplus water draining into the pathway below. This drainage carries a concentrated mix of microorganisms, beneficial bacteria, and nutrients, which are then collected in a container. Following collection, the liquid undergoes straining and bottling.
BENEFITS:
Nutrient-rich: Vermi wash contains essential plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and micronutrients.
Beneficial microorganisms: Vermicompost is teeming with beneficial bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that help improve soil health and promote plant growth.
Soil conditioning: Vermi wash helps improve soil structure, water retention, and aeration, making it beneficial for both soil-based and soilless gardening.
Organic and sustainable: Vermi wash is an organic fertilizer made from natural ingredients, making it safe for plants, humans, and the environment.
HOW TO USE:
Soil Tattva Vermi wash or worm casting tea can be applied to plants as a foliar spray or soil drench, providing them with a boost of nutrients and beneficial microorganisms. Before application, dilute the vermi wash with water at a ratio of 1:10, whether for direct foliar spraying or soil nourishment.
You can start by applying Vermi wash every 2-4 weeks during the growing season and adjust the frequency based on plant response, soil conditions, and other factors mentioned above. During the active growing season, such as spring and summer, plants may benefit from more frequent applications of vermi wash, as they require additional nutrients to support growth. In contrast, during dormant periods or winter, applications may be less frequent or discontinued altogether.
Store the containers with airtight seals to prevent air from entering and oxidizing the contents. Oxygen exposure can lead to the loss of nutrients and the proliferation of harmful microorganisms. Once packaged, store the vermi wash in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps preserve its quality and efficacy over time.

Live Earth Worms
Use it in your farms, backyard gardens or your balcony garden pots. Earthworms help to:
Soil Aeration: Earthworms tunnel through the soil, creating channels that improve soil aeration. This allows oxygen to penetrate deeper into the soil, promoting healthier root growth and microbial activity.
Soil Structure: Earthworms ingest soil particles and organic matter, breaking them down and excreting nutrient-rich casts. These casts improve soil structure by increasing aggregation, water infiltration, and moisture retention.
Nutrient Cycling: Earthworms consume organic matter such as dead plant material and manure, breaking it down into simpler compounds. This process, known as decomposition, releases nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, making them more accessible to plants.
Biocontrol: Earthworms help control pests and pathogens indirectly by competing with harmful soil organisms for food and space. Additionally, their castings contain beneficial microorganisms that can suppress plant diseases.
Tillage Reduction: The burrowing activity of earthworms reduces the need for mechanical tillage, which can disturb soil structure and cause erosion. This results in cost savings for farmers and helps conserve soil health.
Overall, earthworms play a vital role in maintaining soil fertility, enhancing crop productivity, and promoting sustainable agricultural practices, making them valuable allies for farmers.
Worms can survive up to 15-20 days in a package provided the package is kept moist and well-aerated
We mix the earthworms with cattle dung to provide additional nutrients and help maintain their health for a longer duration.
Once you open the packet of earthworms you receive, there are several steps you can take to ensure they remain healthy and live long if they are not going to be immediately added to your farm soil:
Moisture: Keep the earthworms moist but not waterlogged. Use damp bedding material such as moistened peat moss, coco coir, or shredded newspaper to maintain an optimal moisture level.
Aeration: Ensure proper ventilation to prevent suffocation. Avoid sealing the container tightly; instead, use a breathable lid or cover with ventilation holes.
Temperature: Maintain an appropriate temperature range for the species of earthworms you have. Most commonly kept earthworm species thrive in temperatures between 55°F to 75°F (13°C to 24°C).
Nutrition: Provide suitable food sources for the earthworms. This can include organic matter like vegetable scraps, fruit peels, coffee grounds, and crushed eggshells. Avoid acidic or salty foods.
Avoid Contaminants: Keep the environment clean and free from contaminants such as chemicals, pesticides, or pathogens that could harm the earthworms.
Handle with Care: Minimise handling and disturbance to the earthworms as much as possible to reduce stress.
Regular Check-ups: Periodically inspect the earthworms for signs of health issues such as discolouration, unusual behaviour, or foul odours.
By following these guidelines, you can create a suitable environment for your earthworms to thrive and live a healthy, long life.
