Introduction
Vermiculture, or worm farming, is the utilization of some
species of earthworm such as Eisenia fetida (commonly known as red wiggler,
brandling, or manure worm), E. foetida, and Lumbricus rubellus to make
Vermicompost (aka Worm Compost, Vermicast, Worm Castings, Worm Poop, Worm Humus
or Worm Manure), which is a nutrient-rich, natural fertilizer and soil
conditioner, which is the end-product of the breakdown of organic matter.
