Worm Composting

Tweet

Vermicompost (also called Worm Compost, Vermicast, or Worm Manure) is end product of the breakdown of organic matter by special varieties of earthworms. Vermicompost is a nutrient-rich, natural fertilizer and soil conditioner. The process of producing vermicompost is called vermicomposting .

When beginning a vermicomposting bin, add as many composting worms as available. They should be added to moist bedding. Quantities of kitchen waste appropriate for the worm population can be added to the bin daily or weekly.

The earthworm species (or composting worms) most often used are Red Wiggler Worms or Redworms. Small scale vermicomposting is well suited to turn kitchen wastes into high quality soil where space is limited. You can get started on your road to worm composting with the items below.
