Vermicomposting Turns Urban Green Waste into Nutrient-Rich Gold Mine!
The study looked at how earthworms can turn vegetable and floral waste into nutrient-rich compost. They used three types of earthworms and monitored the composting process over time. The nutrients in the compost increased while carbon ratios decreased as time passed. The vermicompost had more nutrients than regular compost and the original waste. Eudrilus eugeniae produced the most nutrient-rich compost. Vegetable waste had more nutrients than floral waste. This shows that vermicomposting is a great way to recycle urban green waste.
