Starting a worm farm is a simple and practical way to reduce household waste while supporting healthier soil and gardens. Also known as vermicomposting, worm farming turns food scraps into nutrient-rich compost and liquid fertilizer that can be used for plants, vegetables, and trees. In Thailand, worm farming is becoming increasingly popular among home gardeners, schools, and eco-conscious households.
