Vermiculture is the practice of breeding and raising worms, particularly earthworms, to improve soil health and manage organic waste. The most commonly used species for this purpose is the red wiggler worm, known for its ability to break down organic material efficiently. This process not only helps in composting but also produces nutrient-rich fertilizer called vermicompost. By using worms to decompose kitchen scraps and yard waste, vermiculture contributes to sustainable gardening and reduces landfill waste, making it an eco-friendly solution for waste management.
