Vermicompost is the product of the decomposition process of organic matter using different types of worms including Eisenia fetida, Enchytraeus buchholzi, and other earthworms capable of transforming vegetable residues and food waste into soil improver. The use of vermicompost as a soil improver has the main function of increasing soil aeration, enriching the soil with microorganisms by adding enzymes such as phosphatase and cellulose and improving its water retention capacity.
