Vermicompost is the product or process of composting using varios worms as we use the red earth worm to create heterogeneous mixture of decomposing vegatble or food waste, bedding materials, and vermicast. Vermicast, also called worm castings, is the end product of the breakdown of organic matter by an earthworm.These castings have been shown to contain reduced levels of contaminants and a higher saturation of nutrients than any other type of compost.
Vermicompost has been shown to be richer in many nutrients than compost produced by other composting methods. Unlike other compost, worm castings also contain worm mucus which helps prevent nutrients from washing away with the first watering and holds moisture better than plain soil.
PRODUCT USE
The Red Wiggler(Red earthworm) are most often used for composting and they are surface dwellers constantly moving towards the new food source. They feed most rapidly at temperatures of 15-25*C. This temperature range means that indoor vermicomposting with redworms is possible in all but tropical climates. also availible to order online, from nursery mail-order suppliers or from any angling shops where they are sold as bait.
