Vermicomposting has many projected and actual uses. [1] It can do done inside or out. [2] It therefore reduces and recycles the waste stream indoors and out. For it breaks down yard waste, paper and cardboard, and kitchen scraps. So it decreases the costs of maintaining old landfills and identifying new. [3] This waste management can be done year-round, because of being contained and because of indoor or outdoor placement. [4] It reduces energy and operating costs. For example, kitchen wastes do not clog or smell up garbage disposals or waste baskets. [5] Its finished product can be used as fertilizer, mulch, or soil amendment. The two former are applied to the surface, the latter below ground. As a natural organic fertilizer, vermicomposted material can be spread at the rate of 1/4 inch in fall or spring. It is mounded into 2-3 inch mulch layers to keep away weeds, hold in moisture, and even out temperature extremes. As soil amendment, it is mixed down into the soil. All three ways improve soil structure, fertility and drainage. They do so, by the introduction of vermicomposting's organic matter into the soil.
Vermicomposting or worm composting
is a simple way to convert organic waste materials into nutrient rich soil conditioners with the help of compost worms.
The worms live in worm bins and eat kitchen- and garden waste.
As they digest it the remaining waste gets converted into worm castings (worm poop) which is an exceptional organic fertilizer and soil conditioner.
The nutrients in worm castings are ready available for plants. A tablespoon of worm castings consists of about 5 billion living organisms and can feed an average pot plant for up to 6 month.
Vermicomposting is easy and can be done indoors and outdoors.
Vermi compost is worm manure, the end result from a worm farm. The valuable natural fertilizer and plant food that the worms have produced from your kitchen scraps.
