Vermicompost is a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer produced by the breakdown of organic matter through the digestive process of earthworms. These worms consume kitchen scraps, yard waste, and other organic materials, transforming them into a dark, crumbly substance that is beneficial for soil health.
This natural fertilizer enhances soil structure, improves moisture retention, and promotes healthy plant growth. Vermicomposting is an eco-friendly method of recycling waste, reducing landfill contributions, and providing a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers. It can be done at home or on a larger scale, making it accessible for gardeners and farmers alike.
