At BARFARM, we have successfully controlled the disease with just a simple drenching of the soil with VERMITEA. Vermitea making has been a regular practice at BARFARM since we have started producing our own vermicast from our Vermiculture beds with the use of AFRICAN NIGHT CRAWLERS.

However, along with the rapid expansion of its breeding herd, came the inevitable daily waste which comes in the form of goat manure. It is for this reason that in January 2006, BARFARM has again further diversified its operation by going into Vermiculture and Vermicomposting with goat manure as sole substrate. Now, the big pile of goat manure that has been accumulated over the 4-year period is now being slowly turned into wormcastings and vermicompost.

Wormcastings african night crawlersand vermicompost, being the most nutrient-rich organic fertilizer among all other organic fertilizers available, is now being used as sole organic fertilizer in BARFARM’s diversified orchard operation as well as in its Plant Nursery operation. Recently, too, the Northern Mindanao Vermiculture Society has decided to make Halfway House, the produce-outlet and restaurant of BARFARM as its Headquarters where the Society meets regularly and where information, supplies of African Night Crawlers, worm castings and vermicompost are available at all times.
