Dear student, Vermicomposting may be defined as the process of
decomposing the organic matter using worms such as red wigglers,
white worms and other earth worms to turn the organic waste into a
natural fertilizer It is a faster method of composting where
earthworms are introduced into heaps of organic matter Earthworms
feed on the organic matter and broken down into particles and
released with worm castings which are rich in nutrients Steps in
vermicomposting are: 1 Buying a bin worm where worms will live and
are kept away from light 2 Buying worms and best ones are red
wigglers 3 Making carbon rich bedding for worms 4 Moistening and
providing soil for the bedding 5 Adding the worms to vermicompost
bin 6 Adding food scraps and sealing the vermicompost 8 Removing
the worms on completion of vermicomposting 9 Harvesting the
vermicompost and reusing it again with some new worms and food
scraps Thanks and regards
