Vermicomposting is a technique that uses the biological activity of specific earthworms to convert organic waste into a quality compost.

Vermicomposting allows:
• to reduce the amount of waste to be collected, transported and incinerated,
• to exploit organic waste free and in complete autonomy,
• to produce 100% natural and free compost and fertilizer,
• to reproduce the natural cycle of organic matter, since your waste will allow to nourish other plants …

Vermicomposting is done using a vermicomposter, which can either be purchased or manufactured by yourself. The compost worms placed inside the vermicomposter will feed on organic waste and transform it into compost.
The worm compost is generally  composed of several elements. Each tray, or floor has several holes allowing the worms to go up or down from one to the other. Moreover, the aeration ensures a good decomposition and the survival of the worms.
