Abstract

Vermicomposting is a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to organic waste management and fertilizer production. Earthworms are fundamental to the delivery of a range of soil ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling and water management, which in turn affects crop development and yield.In fact, one study states the presence of earthworms in soils can increase crop yields by an average of 25% and total crop biomass by 21%. Comparing the production efficiency between the upper pit and windrow method for vermicomposting involves considering several factors including processing capacity, labor requirements, processing time, and resource utilization.
