This was one of the best shows I have seen. As a new farmer I have been researching and trying to learn everything. First time someone is not just selling their 'technique' but actually educating. Thanks again

What micro nutrients, Harmons are available in vermicompost .
Second question applying only vermicompost is it sufficient for soil.
Only vermicompost is not sufficient
Where can we get Native worms
In the video dr Ismail talks about how you can catch and multply desi worms. Just dig a small hole, put cowdung and jaggery and cover with a sack. Moisten it a bit, after few days u will find desi worms in it - u can then multiply them

Is he a sultan or a doctor?
I got reminded of one your earlier comment about how professor's who "teach" doctors never got to practice what they teach.!! Policy/Plan is always on the paper! What one say's and what they actually do (execution) are two different things. Be it the policy of current TN government or be it Mr. sultan Ismail who's blowing trumpet for this government's initiatives.
