Vermiculture or vermicompost systems use worms bins to break down the organic material in compost. Worms can expedite the break-down process as they digest organic waste; compost like leftover produce goes in, nutrient-rich compost comes out.
Vermicompost systems consist of bins with a filler media like coco coir housing hundreds or thousands of worms. Growers add compost to the top of the bin(s). Over time, the compost is broken down and compacts.
In some systems, the bins have holes in the bottom and are stacked. As the compost is broken down, smaller particles work their way through the bottom of the bins. Since most of the raw compost is at the top of the bins, worms move upward through the process. Eventually, the bottom bin contains only ready-to-use compost and no (or nearly no) worms. Growers harvest the ready compost and place the newly emptied bin back at the top.
