How Vermicompost is Made

1. Organic Material: Kitchen scraps, garden waste, and agricultural residues serve as raw materials.
2. Earthworms:  break down the organic matter.
3. Decomposition Process:
   • Earthworms consume organic waste, digest it, and excrete nutrient-rich castings.
   • The material matures over 2-3 months to form fine-textured vermicompost.
