In this segment, we will learn about vermicompost collection, vermicompost setup, and maintenance of vermicompost.<\/p>\n<h2>How to prepare the setup for vermicomposting?<\/h2>\n<p>A box made up of wood or a pit in the ground can be used to keep the red worms. A net or a meshwork is put at the base, and then shredded paper or even cardboard pieces are added on it. They are made slightly wet by sprinkling some water on them. This becomes the floor for the vermicompost.<\/p>\n<p>Degradable wastes like fruit peels, agricultural wastes, dried leaves, or any other organic waste can now be added to the compost pit. Meat or oil items should be removed as these wastes can lead to unwanted microbes which will cause harm to the worms. The layer of food should be loose to allow movement of air and water.<\/p>\n<p>The next step is to add the worms into the box or the pit. The man-made surroundings are different from the natural surroundings of the worms. So to make them feel comfortable, some soil is added on top of the worms. Water is sprinkled on the soil to make it moist.<\/p>\n<p>The last step is to lay a simple gunny bag, an old cloth or some grass on the box or the pit as a shelter. This completes the setup for the vermicomposting process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents Vermicomposting Setup Maintenance of Vermicomposting Setup Vermicompost Collection Summary What\u2019s Next?
