vermicompost application agriculture
Vermicompost (vermi-compost) is the product of the decomposition process using various species of worms, usually red wigglers, white worms, and other earthworms, to create a mixture of decomposing vegetable or food waste, bedding materials, and vermicast.
Benefits of Vermicompost:
Improves soil aeration.
Enriches soil with micro-organisms.
Microbial activity in worm castings is 10 to 20 times higher than in the soil and organic matter that the worm ingests.
Attracts deep-burrowing earthworms already present in the soil.
Improves water holding capacity.
