Hello Sir
Types of vermicomposting
The types of vermicomposting depend upon the amount of producton and composting
structures. Small-scale vermicomposting is done to meet the personal requirement and
farmer can harvest 5-10 tonnes of vermicompost annually. While, large-scale
vermicomposting is done at commercial scale by recycling large quantity of organic
waste with the production of more than 50 – 100 tonnes annually
Methods of vermicomposting: Vermicomposting is done by various methods, among them bed and pit methods are more common.
Bed method : Composting is done on the pucca / kachcha floor by making bed (6x2x2 feet size) of organic mixture. This method is easy to maintain and to practice.
Pit method: Composting is done in the cemented pits of size 5x5x3 feet. The unit is
covered with thatch grass or any other locally available materials. This method is not
preferred due to poor aeration, water logging.
