What is Vermi Compost?
Vermi compost is the process of breaking down of the organic materials into high quality compost material. Generally earth worms, bacteria and fungi are used in the process, because they decompose the organic matter. The final product of vermin composting is vermin compost or otherwise called as worm castings. Using this process we can speed up the process.
The nutrient rich organic substance is mixed with the soil and its organic content matter is increased. Worm bins just use the common process. They use the box that contains the worms. If you want to know the procedures then have a look. They mix the organic waste for the worms to eat so through this the waste gets purified. This process continued throughout the winter and it goes on throughout the year. This is the safest method converting the organic waste that leads to the production of environmentally safest product.
