Vermicomposting is a type of compost/ manure prepared with the use of earthworms. Vermicompost contains saturated form of several plant nutrients and helps in improving the physical properties and nutrient contents of soil. Vermicompost contains water-soluble nutrients and is an excellent, nutrient-rich organic fertilizer and soil conditioner. Vermicompost is also rich in beneficial microorganisms. These properties of vermicompost help in improving the soil quality and boosting crop productivity. Moreover, the use of vermicompost does not cause any harm to the soil as in the case of synthetic fertilizers. Compost is a nutrient-rich, soil-like material that is created by the natural decomposition of organic matter such as: Food scraps (like fruit and vegetable peels), Yard waste (leaves, grass clippings, small branches) Paper and cardboard (uncoated and shredded), Coffee grounds and eggshells. It usually involves microorganisms (bacteria, fungi) and sometimes larger decomposers (worms, insects) breaking down organic material in the presence of oxygen (aerobic decomposition). This process transforms waste into a dark, crumbly substance that looks and smells like rich soil (zschaeffer).
