Compost prepared by using earthworms to hasten the process of decomposition is called vermicompost. In this process, decomposition of biodegradable waste is done by using earthworms.

Process:

  • Take a big container and ensure that temperature of the container should be moderate.
  • Add a layer of sand in order to create a home for earthworms.
  • Now, add little amount of water in sand to create some moisture.
  • Then, add vegetable waste, animal waste, dry leaves etc. in the container.
  • Add some earthworms.
  • Now, keep adding and mixing the ingredients at regular intervals.
  • You will notice within a month earthworms will be doubled.
  • Then, place some vegetable waste in the corner of pit and as a result the entire earthworm will shift to the vegetable waste.
  • Remove the compost from the vacated corner.
  • Dark soil like vermicompost is ready to use.
