What is Vermicomposting

Nature has perfect solution for managing the waste it creates ,if left undisturbed .The bio chemical cycles are designed to clear the waste material produced by animals and plants .we can mimic the same methods that are present in nature .All dead and dry leaves and twigs decompose and are broken down by organisms such as worms and insects,and finally by bacteria and fungi ,to form a dark mineral rich soil  like material  called compost
 These organism in soil use the organic material as food ,which in turn provide them nutrients for their growth and activities .These nutrients are returned to soil to be used by plants and trees .This process recycles nutrients in nature
This soil can be used as a manure for farms  and gardens
 In vermi composting  mainly  earthworms are used
