Video shares complete practical information on How to start a low cost vermicomposting unit using earthworms. Useful tips on site selection, construction of vermicompost shed, selection and growth of worms, charging of the unit using worms, management, harvesting, benefits and sale have been shared in this video. The vermicomposting unit if coupled with a vegetable farm or kitchen garden is very useful. We can use cattle dung, cow dung, poultry waste, grass clippings, fruits and vegetable residues, agricultural waste, straw, waste paper, cardboard etc. for turning waste into useful vermicompost. Here we recommend use of Australian Redworms Eisenia fetida in the composting shed. The worm can double its population in 3 months and is quite tolerable to unfavorable temperature and humidity conditions, if any. Not only the solid vermicompost but its liquid formulations are equally beneficial. The plant growth, flowering and fruiting is enhanced. We have observed fast worm growth if dried powdered leaves of peepal Ficus religiosa tree are mixed in the substrate being used for worm growth. If a small vermicomposting unit is started by an institution or an NGO, it can provide inspiration and practical training to local youth, women and farmers for undertaking beneficial and ecofriendly initiatives thus improving the quality of local environment and human health. In kitchen gardens, vermicomposting or vermicompost is an important tool of organic farming that can help minimizing the use of synthetic chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Self Help Groups can be formed and trained for undertaking this initiatives in rural areas. Undoubtedly, the raw material for earthworms is not a problem in rural area. In urban residential colonies vermicomposting units can be started by the Residents Welfare Societies and the compost thus produced can be used in parks and gardens of the area. Let Us Share the practical tips from this video. I am a Biology Teacher and have been experimenting with earthworms in my institution for past one decade. wish you happy kitchen gardening.
