What is vermicompost ?
species that are widely used in vermicompost:-
1. Red wiggler = Eisenia fetida
2. white worm = Enchytraeus buchholzi
Method of preparation of vermicompost:-
Materials required for preparation
- water
- cow dung
- roof
- soil and sand
- gunny bags
- earthworm
- weed biomass
- neem leaf (optional)
- vermi-bed or plastic sheet
- a bucket for collecting vermi-wash
NOTE:-
if you are using red wiggler and white worm then no need to put soil or sand in the composting because these earthworm eats only 90% of the carbonic matter and only 10% soil .
If you are using native earthworm in the composting then you can add soil in the composting because the native earthworm can eat 90% of the soil matter and only 10% carbonic matter.
After first layer now its turn to add cow dung layer in the vermi-bed. Remember that while putting the cow dung must be 10 -15 days old or cow dung must be cold. The cow dung layer must be 5-6 inches layer on the crop residue . Remember that the vermi-bed must be filled upto 1.5 feet. and small hole is done in all boudries so the air can pass to he worm because the earthworm can not suruvive at high temperture . the optimum temprature for surviving the earthworm is 30-40 degree. water temperature should be maintained about 50-60% water should be given after every third day according to the climate.
The vermicompost process should be done under shade. after putting a layer of cow dung now put a layer of earthworm in the process remember that putting of earthworm in the bed shoud be done in a sprinkler or spread earhtworm all over the bed because the earthworm eat waste material in downward they go eating waste material from upward portion to the downward . If u put a earthwor in on place they go eating downward and make compost in one portion so spread earthworm all over for benefit.
after putting the layer of earthworm cover the earthworm from dried leaves and u also used neem leaves for bedding and cover with the straw or jute bag cover the beeding proper and sprinkle water on the top portion because in the dark earthworm perform better. This process should be done under shade and shelter. provide proper water to the bed .
The compost will be prepare around 50-60 days. the vermi compost is used as fertilizer where as vermi wash also use as a insecticide. 1 litre of the vermi-wash mix with the 1 litre of cow urine and dissolve with 10 litre of water and sprayed in the field and to the fruits. it is act as a insecticide.
