Dear friend

BIODEGRADABLE WASTES - animal excreta, vegetable peels etc.

NON-BIODEGRADABLE WASTES - plastic bottles, polythene

Answer 2

(a) Garbage substances like broken glass, aluminium wrappers, plastic items, polythene bags, which are non-biodegradable cannot be converted into compost by the redworms.
(b) Yes, saprophytic organisms such as moulds (white, black or greyish cottony patches) and bacteria (which can be seen under microscope) that help in decomposing biodegradable substances.
