Organic Vermi Compost is produced by the feeding action of earthworms. Earthworms ingest organic matter, fragmenting and grinding it into a finely divided material with high porosity, aeration, drainage and water holding capacity. This process enhances microbial activity and accelerates the rate of decomposition. This leads to a humification effect where nstable organic matter or decomposing plant and animal matter is oxidized and stabilized. Humus forms the dark brown or black mass of the upper soil and is important for storing and releasing plant nutrients. The process is similar to composting except it is non thermophillic or a cold process utilising naturally occurring soil dwelling micro organisms.
