Sifting and sorting are ways to harvest vermicompost. The term in question references the dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter -- also called humus -- which results from the decomposing of carbon- and nitrogen-rich, small recyclables by earthworms, red wrigglers, and white worms. The product responds to harvesting by a sifting screen or sorting manually or mechanically.

Vermicomposting means composting with worms. It is taking vegetable scraps and grass clippings and adding worms. The worms break this down and make it into great fertilizer for your garden. The only disadvantage is the time and effort to do the vermicomposting.
The aim of vermicomposting is to turn organic waste into nutrient-rich compost through the action of earthworms. This process not only reduces landfill waste but also enhances soil health and fertility by improving its structure and nutrient content. Additionally, vermicomposting promotes sustainable waste management practices and contributes to environmental conservation. Overall, it provides an eco-friendly way to recycle organic materials while supporting gardening and agricultural efforts.
My worms live very happily in shredded paper, with the occasional coffee ground and egg shell addition.
Mary Appelhof has written: 'Vermicomposting' 'Workshop on the Role of Earthworms in the Stabilization of Organic Residues'
Recycling vermicomposting (raising worms and feeding them with kitchen waste). However, the nutrient value of the "worm dirt" is not really all that great.
It is not recommended to put plastic in a vermicomposting pit as it will not break down and can harm the worms living in the pit. Only organic materials should be added to vermicompost piles to maintain a healthy environment for the worms.
