Vermicomposting is derived from the Latin term vermis, meaning worms. Vermicompsting is essentially the consumption of organic material by earthworms. This speeds up the process of decomposition and provides a nutrient-rich end product, called Vermicompost, in the form of worm castings.

For centuries, earthworms have been used for centuries as a means of decomposing wastes and improving soil structure. Increasing numbers of businesses worldwide are successfully employing vermiculture technology and marketing Vermicompost as an excellent soil conditioner, to farmers and gardeners.

Essentially, earthworms function as natural bioreactors. The technique yields organic fertilisers, permits safe disposal of certain organic wastes and reduces the requirement for landfill.

Vermicompost is organic, non-burning and rich in nutrients. Worm casts are suitable for a wide range of horticultural uses. Vermicompost contains eight times as many microorganisms as their feed, which promotes healthy plant growth. The casts are also rich in humic acids, which condition the soil, have a perfect pH balance, and have plant growth factors similar to those found in seaweed.
