What is Vermicomposting

Vermicomposting uses red wriggler worms in turning organic wastes into nutrient-filled compost (also known as worm manure or castings). These helpful worms have the necessary skills when it comes to plowing, aerating, hydrating, and fertilizing your soil and plant produce. They have also successfully made this process possible by feeding and turning organic materials (your kitchen scraps) into very high quality worm castings. The end result of this production turns into a valuable natural fertilizer; and can also be used as a conditioning agent for your soil. And to start with your own worm composting project, you can always find red worms for sale in several markets today.

Benefiting from your everyday kitchen waste

In our everyday lives, it is inevitable to see that you have used up so many organic materials in your kitchen, and not all of their parts are used for your cooking needs. There's your potato skins, some rotten parts of your string beans, or even a sliced part of your cabbage head or tomatoes, just thrown off at the side. Although you have already thought of these as useless materials, this in turn can still be used in making a better waste disposal system. And this is where vermicomposting comes into the picture.

How to benefit from vermicomposting

When red worms feed on organic waste, they in turn, will provide you with a quality-made, natural fertilizer. But always make sure to provide them a comfortable surrounding where they can be best at work and for reproduction (make sure that you feed them properly as well). Take note that there are an array of choices for worm bins or containers to consider (made in materials like plastic, wood or rubber) in the market, as well as other materials used for worm composting (like shredded newspaper, moist peat moss, and other organic waste).

And if you're into making your garden look more presentable, or into farming and planting crops, castings from red wigglers will definitely help in revitalizing your plants, and your soil. These worm composts are not harmful to your health (unlike other chemical-based fertilizers). These are in fact, odorless too. This process of vermicomposting can definitely lessen organic waste significantly, and can progressively help solve the problems landfills of waste. You can start solving this problem from your home.
