What is Vermicompost?
Vermicompost is a nutrient-rich, organic fertilizer produced when earthworms break down organic waste such as vegetable scraps, dry leaves, crop residues, and animal manure. During digestion, the worms convert this material into fine, dark, odorless castings (worm manure), which are highly beneficial for plant growth.
