Vermicomposting is a process in which the earthworms convert the organic waste into manure rich in high nutritional content. They are commonly found in soil, feeding on biomass and excreting it in a digested form.
Vermiculture means “worm-farming”. Earthworms feed on organic waste materials and give out excreta in the form of “vermicasts” that are rich in nitrates and minerals such as phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, and potassium. These are used as fertilizer and enhance soil quality.
