What is vermicomposting?
It's a method of composting in which earthworms take care of peels, teabags
and other bio-waste from your household. Using a special vessel, the earthworms
turn the waste into a vermicompost that is similar in texture to peat, over
the course of a few months. Additionally you obtain a liquid called worm tea. But the
vermicompost and worm tea excellent fertilizers with high content of enzymes
and hormones that promote growth and protect plants from diseases. You can use
them to fertilize herbs as well as indoor and outdoor plants.
