The vermicomposting process has been described as the bio-oxidation and stabilisation of ooranic materials involving the hoint actions of earthworms and microorganisms (Aira et al., 2002). In contrast to traditional compost, vermicompost never heats up much above the ambient temperature. Many practitioners combine the two techniques, initially doung a partial pre-composting at high temperatures, followed by a finishing stage of vermicomposting (Frederickson, 1997). Vermicompost from earthworm fecal pellets, or casts, are different from traditional compost because the casts are covered with a mucus layer secreted by the worms’ intestinal tract.
