Composting And Vermicomposting (with Earthworms) by TinwotFarm1(m): 10:09pm On Sep 08, 2016 |
For those interested in organic agriculture, having a strong on-farm composting program is a prerequisite. Composting generally refers to the process of obtaining compost, an end product of biological processes that breakdown organic waste. This end product is used as a soil amendment or fertiliser. The biological processes can involve high internal temperatures (thermophilic) or moderate internal temperatures (mesophilic). "Regular" composting is usually thermophilic and uses soil microbial organisms as the main decomposition agents, while vermicomposting is usually mesophilic and uses earthworms as the main decomposition agents. In this topic, I would like us to share experiences, tips and resources for both types of composting, as an aide to both organic and conventional farmers looking for natural ways to improve soil health/fertility and boost yields. |

Lol, no, none of that I can assure you. Whatever information any of us have on the subject matter should be shared freely on this forum. |
