Speaking to John Perlman, the founder of the Compost Kitchen Himkaar Singh says a lot of people are interested in learning about the compost.
We would supply the worm boxes which would have a certain design that would make it easy to make the compost and it includes the earthworms.
Himkaar Singh, Founder - Compost Kitchen
We collect food waste from homes and we feed it to earthworms and they produce something that is called Vermicompost.

We give the Vermicompost back to the costumers at the end of the month so that they grow vegetables in their gardens.
