Answer:

The end goal of both composting and vermicomposting is to decompose organic waste and turn it into fertiliser. While composting is a slow process that makes use of fungal and bacterial action, vermicompost accelerates the process by the use of earthworms.

Vermicompost is a mixture of decaying vegetable or food waste, bedding materials, and vermicast created by the decomposition process utilising several kinds of worms, most often red wigglers, white worms, and other earthworms.

  • Vermicomposting is the term for this procedure, while vermiculture is the term for raising worms for this purpose.
  • The end-product of the decomposition of organic materials by earthworms is vermicast (also known as worm castings, worm humus, worm manure, or worm faeces).
  • These castings were shown to have lower levels of pollutants and higher nutrient saturation than organic materials prior to vermicomposting.
