VERMICOMPOSTING \u2013 A GREAT WAY TO TURN THE BURDENS INTO RESOURCES<\/a><\/h3>\n
Thousands of tons of foods are being wasted everyday throughout the world and due to their improper management, they are creating further trouble polluting the environment. Though wasting food is not a matter to be happy with; but if it cannot be stopped at least the wastes can be managed in some beneficial ways. Vermicomposting is the process which will protect the environment from the pollution of food scraps, kitchen wastes and other organic wastes in one hand and will give you a great organic fertilizer and healthy crop production on the other.<\/div>\n

VERMICOMPOSTING AND VERMICOMPOST<\/strong><\/p>\n

Latin word\u00a0\u2018Vermi\u2019\u00a0means worm; thus\u00a0\u2018Vermicomposting\u2019\u00a0refers to composting with worms. In vermicomposting, various organic waste materials are broken down by using worms, bacteria, and fungi. These organisms are nature\u2019s vitally useful tools to decompose organic materials. So, vermicomposting is a process that boosts up nature\u2019s process of decomposing organic waste materials and produces a very useful end product.<\/p>\n

Vermicompost, the end product of vermicomposting process, is a heterogeneous mixture of decomposed organic wastes, bedding materials, worm castings, decomposed worms as well as other decomposer organisms, worm cocoons etc. The worm castings, one of the major components of vermicompost, contain lower levels of contaminants and higher levels of nutrients than the organic wastes do before vermicomposting. Vermicompost is rich in many water-soluble nutrients which makes it an excellent organic fertilizer.<\/p>\n

PLANT NUTRITION WITH VERMICOMPOST<\/strong><\/p>\n

In optimum conditions worms consume huge amount of organic wastes in a day, as much as their own weight at least. After consumption, they take their nourishment from the micro-organisms residing in the wastes; and when they excrete their casts contain an increased number of micro-organisms.<\/p>\n
