Vermicompost is packed with essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium, which are vital for plant growth and development. Studies have shown that plants grown in vermicompost-amended soil have increased yields, larger leaves, and stronger stems.
The beneficial microbes in vermicompost help to break down organic matter, making it easier for plant roots to absorb nutrients and water.
Vermicompost helps to loosen clay soils and improve drainage, while also binding sandy soils and increasing their water-holding capacity.
Vermicompost contains beneficial bacteria and fungi that can help to suppress harmful pathogens in the soil.
Vermicomposting is a great way to divert food scraps and yard waste from landfills. This reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps to conserve precious landfill space.
