Vermicompost (vermi-compost) is the product of the decomposition process using various species of worms, usually red wigglerswhite worms, and other earthworms, to create a mixture of decomposing vegetable or food waste, bedding materials, and vermicast. This process is called vermicomposting, while the rearing of worms for this purpose is called vermiculture.

Vermicompost contains water-soluble nutrients and is an excellent, nutrient-rich organic fertilizer and soil conditioner. It is used in farming and small scale sustainable, organic farming.

Vermicomposting can also be applied for treatment of sewage. A variation of the process is vermifiltration (or vermidigestion) which is used to remove organic matter, pathogens and oxygen demand from wastewater or directly from Blackwater of flush toilets

 BENEFITS

Soil

  • Improves soil aeration
  • Enriches soil with micro-organisms (adding enzymessuch as phosphatase and cellulose)
  • 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[45]

Plant growth

  • Enhances germination, plant growth, and crop yield
  • It helps in root and plant growth
  • Enriches soil with micro-organisms (adding plant hormonessuch as auxins and gibberellic acid)

 Economic

  • Bio wastes conversion reduces waste flow to landfills
  • Elimination of bio wastes from the waste stream reduces contamination of other recyclables collected in a single bin (a common problem in communities practicing single-stream recycling)
  • Creates low-skill jobs at local level
  • Low capital investment and relatively simple technologies make vermicomposting practical for less-developed agricultural regions

Environmental

  • Helps to close the “metabolic gap” through recycling waste on-site
  • Large systems often use temperature control and mechanized harvesting, however other equipment is relatively simple and does not wear out quickly
  • Production reduces greenhouse gasemissions such as methane and nitric oxide (produced in landfills or incinerators when not composted).
