What is compost? Compost is well decomposed organic wastes like plant residues, animal dung, and urine earth from cattle sheds, waste fodder etc.

What is vermicomposting? Vermicomposting is a type of compost making in which earthworms are used to convert organic wastes into valuable material to supply nutrients for crops.

The Danger of Rotting Waste  Nuisance

of rodents and pests  Unhygienic surroundings  Health hazards  Potential invitation to major epidemic.

Fact File on Waste 700000 tonnes of waste generated in India daily of which: 300000 tonnes is bio-degradable waste. Corporations spend around Rs.40000 crores for collecting and dumping waste as land fill, every year. Land fill areas evaporating all around. Supreme court directive to all municipal corporations to dispose off the waste by recycling or composting by the end of 2003.

The New Utilities of organic waste 

Generation of electricity



Gasification.



Making bricks. (For construction)



Making Brickquet. (As fuel)



Making Compost – an organic soil fertilizer and conditioner

Nature’s Way of Degenerating Waste  All

bio-degradable materials are converted to compost by nature through microbes.

 The

limitation of this process is the long time duration. It takes about 8-10 months.

 The

time taken is directly proportional to the number of microbes acting on the decomposing material.

THE COMPOST IS READY TO BE HARVESTED WHEN THERE ARE FEW OR NO SCRAPS OF FOOD REMAINING IN THE BIN TWO MOST IMPORTANT WAYS ARE… DUMPING OR HAND SORTING SIDE HARVESTING

Advantages of Vermicompost In the kitchen itself In compounds of co-operative society. In backyard of houses. In the area between the buildings of housing boards or big housing colonies. In corners of public gardens. Or on allocated Municipal areas.

Benefits & constraints of Vermicomposting



    

Vermicompost is an ecofriendly natural fertilizer prepared from biodegradable   organic wastes and is free from chemical inputs. It does not have any adverse effect on soil, plant and environment. It improves soil aeration, texture and tilth thereby reducing soil compaction. It improves water retention capacity of soil because of its high organic matter content. It promotes better root growth and nutrient absorption. It improves nutrient status of soil-both macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients.

How to assemble your bin

ITEMS NEEDED

1 10 gallon bin or 1 20 gallon bin •1 lb or 2 lbs of worms

•Peat moss •Cardboard egg cartons •Newspaper •Nylon screening (to cover the bottom of the bin) •Garden Fork (optional) PH meter (optional) Kitchen waste
