Worm composting

Worm composting, also known as vermicomposting, is a process that uses specific types of earthworms to break down organic waste like vegetable scraps and coffee grounds into nutrient-rich compost. This compost can be used to improve garden soil. The worms digest the waste, converting it into castings—potent natural fertilizer. The system typically involves a bin with bedding material and proper moisture, creating an ideal environment for the worms. Worm composting is an eco-friendly way to recycle kitchen waste, reduce landfill contributions, and produce valuable soil amendments for plants.
