Benefit from Worms through Vermicomposting

Vermicomposting is defined as the production of compost with the use of worms. It is a fast way to convert organic farm waste into organic fertilizer. It degrades waste as vermi or earthworm (African night crawler) feed on and digest waste materials.

Vermicomposting results in a better quality product that is produced in only 4-6 weeks compared to ordinary compost that is produced in 8-12 weeks.

"Vermicompost" or the castings of the earthworms is an soil enhancer and bioactive fertilizer for organic farming.  Earthworms can also be made into feed for fish or other domesticated animals. Learn more about vermicomposting here.
