Composting earthworms

Earthworms can swallow and digest solid residues from plant and animal residues as well as any other organic materials. Thus, they are an excellent machine for the treatment and biodegradation of various hardly degradable and unusable materials so far, ensuring their utilization in the form of organic fertilizer and soil improvers.

Earthworms are the ultimate composting and decomposition reactor of organic matter, transforming it into the most valuable organic and ecological fertilizer.

The earthworm can consume a daily amount of food equal to its weight (about one gram on average). Of this, about 50% is absorbed by the body to meet its needs, and the remaining 50% is eliminated and is an excellent organic fertilizer.

The amount of matter ejected from the earthworm is enriched with various enzymes (protein breakdowns), plant hormones (auxins) and vitamins (A, E, and C), while the various microorganisms associated with the earthworm cause the organic matter to decompose food, resulting in the formation of humus and the release of elements useful and necessary for the nourishment of plants.
