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.
Himkaar Singh, Founder - Compost Kitchen
We give the Vermicompost back to the costumers at the end of the month so that they grow vegetables in their gardens.
