Vermicompost

Vermicompost, often referred to as worm compost or worm castings, is a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer and soil conditioner produced through the natural process of vermicomposting. The process of vermicomposting begins by providing a suitable habitat for the worms in a controlled environment, typically a vermicompost bin or vermicompost bed. Organic waste materials like kitchen scraps (vegetable and fruit peels, coffee grounds and eggshells), yard waste, and other plant-based materials are added to the bin. The worms consume these organic materials and transform them into nutrient-rich castings through digestion and microbial breakdown.
