vermicomposting
Vermicomposting is a method of composting that uses specific types of worms, primarily red wigglers, to break down organic waste. These worms consume kitchen scraps, yard waste, and other biodegradable materials, turning them into nutrient-rich compost known as vermicast. This process not only reduces waste but also produces a valuable soil amendment for gardens and plants.
The process of vermicomposting can be done indoors or outdoors in specially designed bins. It requires minimal maintenance and can be a sustainable way to recycle food scraps. The resulting compost enhances soil health, improves plant growth, and helps retain moisture in the soil.
