Yes, very correct because various kind of waste under mesophilic temperature provide and enhance the activities of bacteria even before the waste get to the gut of the worms. In this regards, waste deposition from vegetables, fruits, waste food without salt can be minimized. Vermicompost maybe but not to a large extent because the worms may die if the environment is toxic instead of producing compost.
Yes, vermicomposting can be a solution for organic waste management. Different types of organic waste, such as kitchen scraps, food waste, agricultural waste, and sewage sludge, can be effectively processed through vermicomposting. The earthworms feed on the organic waste, breaking it down and producing vermicasts, which are nutrient-rich and beneficial for soil health. Vermicomposting is a cost-effective and sustainable method that helps divert organic waste from landfills while producing valuable compost for agricultural and gardening purposes
