Vermin compost is a kind of organic fertilizer included of worms utilization and compost. There are more than 2700 kinds of worms that they make the soil more fertile and fresh by their activity by feeding from the soil elements and mixing the enzymes in their body and also by their activity in the soil and creating lots of holes in it to help the oxygen flow of greatly. Vermicompost is a combination of two words of vermi (worm) and compost (organic fertilizer) and is created in semi aero process (80% moisture) which is done by special kinds of worms, bacteria and mushrooms.
vermicomposting includes worms.....
Vermicompost can also be produced by Eisenia Foetida which feed from kitchen waste and the final product has one the highest quality in the world
Benefits:
- Improves soil aeration
- Enriches soil with micro-organisms (adding enzymessuch as phosphatase and cellulase)
- Microbial activity in worm castings is 10 to 20 times higher than in the soil and organic matter that the worm ingests
- Attracts deep-burrowing earthworms already present in the soil
- Improves water holding capacity
- Enhances germination, plant growth, and crop yield
- Improves root growth and structure
- Enriches soil with micro-organisms (adding plant hormonessuch as auxins and gibberellic acid)
- Biowastes conversion reduces waste flow to landfills
- Elimination of biowastes from the waste stream reduces contamination of other recyclables collected in a single bin (a common problem in communities practicing single-stream recycling)
- Creates low-skill jobs at local level
- Low capital investment and relatively simple technologies make vermicomposting practical for less-developed agricultural regions
- Helps to close the "metabolic gap" through recycling waste on-site
- Large systems often use temperature control and mechanized harvesting, however other equipment is relatively simple and does not wear out quickly[
Production reduces greenhouse gas emissions such as methane and nitric oxide (produced in landfills or incinerators when not composted or through methane harvest)
