Answer 3

Vermicomposting is simply composting with earthworms. Earthworms speed up the composting process, aerate the organic material in the bin, and enhance the finished compost with nutrients and enzymes from their digestive tracts.

Millions of tons of food waste are buried or burned each year at considerable financial and environmental cost. Instead of discarding your food scraps, you can recycle them with the help of worms. Vermicomposting  turns many types of kitchen waste into a nutritious soil for plants. When worm compost is added to soil, it boosts the nutrients available to plants and enhances soil structure and drainage.

Answer 4

the end product formed as a result of breakdown of biological waste materials materials (esp. plant residues)  by some species of earthworm (esp. Red earthworms or red wigglers) is generally called vermicompost. And the process is called vermicomposting.

Answer 5

The compost made with the help of vermins especially earthworms is called vermicompost. The organic materials are used by the earthworm as their food materials but they excrete a nutritious decomposed material - compost. The compost thus produced is used in soil to replace nutrients.

Vermicompost is important as the raw material for the process is waste materials, it reduces the amount of waste to dump, it produces nutrients and reduces the use of chemical fertilizer. The process is natural so energy efficient.

Answer 8

earthworm p**p. vermicompost is pure worm castings.

It is not compost that has earthworms in it, as all healthy compost has earthworms working at at some point. It is not compost made using vermin (which are generally wild animals that do bad things to livestock).

Vermicompost is pure worm castings that you get when you use a worm box that has had paper and food waste added for the worms to eat. the worms eat what is given to them, they p**p et voila, vermicompost.
