"Why Should I Vermicompost?"

You are probably wondering,

"What's so great about composting with worms (vermicomposting)? Why shouldn't I just do conventional composting?"

There are 2 major reasons why vermicomposting is better:

1. You can convert your waste faster. Conventional composting takes weeks to months to convert your organic matter to compost and is very labor intensive. By using worms in a Can-O-Worms^TM or Eliminator^TM system, you can convert approximately 6 to 8 pounds of organics PER DAY into vermicompost!
2. The vermicompost is far superior to conventional compost. The worm castings in the vermicompost have nutrients that are 97% utilizable by your plants and the castings have a mucous coating which allows the nutrients to "time release".

You can't use too much vermicompost or castings on your plants. Worm castings have been compared to caviar:
