Well, now i'm going to explain to you briefly on how to make your own vermi compost. Firstly, you are suppose to prepare a container to place our compost in. According to my experience on the vermi compost actvity that was being carried out by my team and myself, we found out that newspapers will give you the most satisfiying product. Hmmmm..... must be because the worms love to eat newspapers... Moving on, after you have prepared your container, if you were to use newspaper, you are suppose to tear them into small pieces and soak them in a pail of water. Next, you are suppose to put the soaked newspapers into your container followed by garden soil. Last but not least, add in the worms. I would advice you to put in aroud 20 worms in each container. After you are done, you are suppose to close the container. REMEMBER to water the worms every 2 days once and you have to check if they are sill alive or DEAD!!!

Here are some pictures on ways to carry out vermi compost... This project was done by my group members.


The containers given to us to be used for this vermi compost project...


First of all, we measure the organic materials after we were provided with containers


We were weighing the worms...
