This study is conducted to argue whether vermicompost can be an alternative to chemical fertilizer or not. The Red Wiggler (Eisenia fetida) is the most common earth worm type in the world. The Red Wiggler (Eisenia fetida) consumes some organic materials such as animal manure, vegetables, kitchen waste, agricultural crop residues, or organic by products from industries. Vermicomposting is a kind organic fertilizer of nature. Vermicomposting is based on earthworms and microorganisms to help stabilize active organic materials. It also converts active organic materials to a valuable soil amendment and source of plant nutrients. If vermicompost is added to soil, it enhances the nutrients available to plants. Vermicompost has also been shown to increase plant growth and depress plant disease and insect pest attacks.Vermicomposting products have many applications, including vegetable production, home gardening, fruit gardening, landscaping, vinegrowing, and in agriculture. Business owners complained about some difficulties such aslack of information in public, universities and Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Livestock.
