VERMICOMPOSTING

I. What is VERMICOMPOSTING?

 It is also called worm composting.


 This is a process that relies on earthworms and microorganisms to help
stabilize active organic materials and convert them to a valuable soil
amendment and source of plant nutrients.
 It is a simple technology for converting biodegradable waste into organic
manure with the help of earthworms. Earthworms are valued by farmers
because, in addition to aerating the soil, they digest organic matter and
produce castings that are a valuable source of humus.
 The use of earthworms to convert organic waste into fertilizer.
 It turns kitchen scraps and other green waste into a rich, dark soil that
smells like earth and feels like magic. Made of almost pure worm castings,
it’s a sort of super compost. Not only is it rich in nutrients but it’s also
loaded with the microorganisms that create and maintain healthy soil.

growth and yield as well as suppressing key pests
and diseases of horticultural plants in the
greenhouse and in field soils
 Vermicompost has a plethora of benefits, most
importantly as follows: (1) it acts as biofertilizers,
restores soil nutrients, stabilizes soil, and
enhances soil fertility at a long-term period; (2) it
attends to social issues and recycles waste; and (3)
it is shown to be a profitable enterprise as a circular
economy..
