Wormicompost is a process of creating compost or commonly known as fertilizers with the help of earth worms. Usually solid waste from canteens and plants are decomposed by earth worms and after a certain period of time, it is converted into a useful form of fertilizer. The waste is dumped in a dig hole and covered with soil and hundreds and thousands of earth worms in it.

No matter where in the world vermicomposting, that is composting with worms, is practiced, the worms need to be damp, dark and well fed. Keep your bin in the shade and the worms will flourish. A great way to start is with a storage bin. A plastic or styrofoam container with lid about 18 to 20 gals. You will also need window screening, duct tape, newspaper, shredded paper, or paperboard (cereal boxes), water, a small amount of sand or soil, a drill with 1 inch spade bit and about ½ to 1 pound of worms. Choose worms that are adapted to composting. Red wigglers or African Nightcrawlers are excellent composters and thrive in a worm bin environment. Local worm farms or bait stores can usually provide these types of worms; They can also be ordered from the Internet. Worm Bin Construction: # Drill 4 holes (2 holes per side) about 4 inches from the top of the bin. # Cut small pieces of screen large enough to cover the holes and tape them to the inside of the bin using duct tape. # Make a bedding by shredding paper lenghtwise into 1 inch strips to fill the bin 1/3 full. # Spread sand or soil over the bedding. # Pour the water over the newspaper strips; stirring the bedding as you moisten it. # Dump worms out of containers onto surface of bedding. After 2 hours, remove any (dead) worms that have not wiggled down into bedding. The worms are then feed with plant debris and kitchen scraps, a little at a time. The worm casings or compost must be removed carefully for use and the population of the worms managed, they reproduce and can quickly over-populate the bin.
