Abstract

Due to rapid growth of population, the rate of solid waste generation is increasing day by day. There are so many methods are available for the reduction of generated solid waste, when we come to the vermicomposting process, it is more economical and having speedy process. The experimental study aims to conduct vermicomposting process in two different container with two different aeration process and find out the effect of different aeration on the growth of earthworms and degradation process .first container will be provided with vertical artificial aeration, second one with natural aeration. The outcome of the study shows that providing artificial aeration has a high impart in the vermicomposting process.
