Paper Summary

The researchers aimed to find the best mix of household waste and cow dung for making high-quality vermicompost. They tried different ratios of waste and dung, along with earthworms and rock phosphate, and checked the results over 90 days. The 50:50 mix of waste and dung produced the best vermicompost, with low moisture, high water holding capacity, and good particle size.
