Revolutionizing Waste Management: Composting and Vermicomposting for Cleaner Cities
The article discusses how composting and vermicomposting can help manage organic waste more effectively. By combining these two methods, the maturation period of composting can be optimized, making it suitable for handling large amounts of waste generated daily. During composting, microorganisms break down the waste, raising the temperature in the initial days. However, using vermicomposting directly can harm the worms due to high temperatures. Vermicompost contains more nutrients than regular compost, making it beneficial for soil health. By implementing these methods, we can improve the degradation of organic waste and reduce the environmental impact of waste generation.
