Composting and vermicomposting – which one is better?
Difference between composting and vermicomposting.
Best thing in composting is that you don’t know which one is better , composting is techniques that is used in waste management system to dispose wet waste, before know something about aerobic composting and vermicomposting , need to understand Composting techniques, Main thing is composting is we are making compost of wet waste to recycle or reuse and reduce, when we are making composting with aerobic techniques, then we do procedure with heating, mixing, ventilation. Also we use some carbon source to make compost fast. And in vermicomposting techniques we use vermis to make fertilizer of wet waste.
Here is difference between vermicomposting and organic composting.
Table-1
Factor
Vermicomposting
Organic Composting
Definition
What is vermicomposting?
What is organic Composting?
Time
it takes around 60 to 70 days.
it takes 20 to 30 days .
Waste requirement
dry leaves or wet waste garden waste etc. with Crowding
kitchen waste , all type of organic waste etc. with saw dust or cocopeat.
Quality
Vermicomposting is better than organic composting.
Organic composting quality is good, but as compared to vermicomposting its less.
Price
Price of Compost is high
Price is less than vermicomposting.
availability
Easily available online or where compost generating plants.
it is also easily available anywhere in society. or bulk waste generating plants.
Operating maintenance
maintenance is high in vermicomposting
maintenance is comparatively low as vermicomposting.
organic composting and vermicomposting differanace.
now, we understand composting process step by step;
What is vermicomposting?
Vermicomposting is natural process ,Earthworm manure is also a technology that we convert wet waste into compost, we use Earthworm to convert wet waste into compost. Uses. We say that Earthworm are the friend of the farmers as they help the farmers to increase their yield by increasing the fertility of the soil by producing proper fertilizer from the waste. Vermicomposting is an important component of organic farming which boosts the immunity of your plants. We use Vermicomposting as a granular organic fertilizer containing nutrients, hormones.
An Earthworm is an animal that lives in the soil and consumes organic matter. This process takes at least a couple of days, and he keeps only ten percent for his own body and removes the remaining ninety percent.
Organic Composting is process of natural process of waste dispose system in that waste can easily converted into compost with heating, mixing and ventilation process, you can understand details in composting.
vermicomposting is longer process to produce compost, it usually take 2.5 to 3 months to make perfect and good quality compost, while organic compost is natural process but it takes less time if we processed it better. in organic composting, you can use any type of wet waste but in vermicomposting if you use Lemon, lime, orange or other citrus peels and juice (in excess this will make the soil too acidic) Onions and garlic (a good rule of thumb is if it makes you smell, it makes your worm bin smell) Meat, fats, grease, bones or oils (no butter, lard, stocks, soups, etc) you should not add in vermicomposting otherwise vermis can not sustain in this environment.
You can watch video regarding compost process:
Due to high maintenance , compost quality of vermicomposting is to much better , because of better quality compost cost of compost go high & It produce good quality compost which is very useful for plants and garden, as compared to vermicomposting , cost of organic compost or aerobic compost is less than vermicomposting.
both techniques are good but vermicomposting techniques are most powerful techniques.
advantageous of making vermicomposting is more but there are some disadvantageous also,
It is a time-consuming process
It releases a very foul odor.
Vermicomposting is high maintenance.
vermis can not sustain in high and very low temperature.
dis advantageous of vermicomposting
There are some disadvantageous of organic composting also,
Composting gives unpleasant smell Lots of work is involved Rats, snakes and bugs might get attracted Lots of space is required
dis advantageous of composting

3.Compost Machine is compact , it requires less space to install.
4.There is no need for a shredder machine or shredder installed on top.
5.you easily remove compost from the front side automatically.
What is Composting & how to start Composting – Guidebest Compost.
before Composting , there are two things you need to know to properly dispose of wet waste, recycle and Reuse of organic waste provides more benefits to environment like improving soil heath, recycling nutrients, mitigating the impact of droughts.
Dispose of waste can be done by decomposition techniques, there are two methods of decomposition.
1.Aerobic.
2. anaerobic.
1.You can not use this Compost Machine under maintenance, you need to solve problems first and then you use machine till you have to manage daily waste.
2.This type of Compost Machine is costly, due to using all metal or stainless steel, and it is not affordable.
it consumes high electricity, and also not make compost in natural way,
3. No carbon source is used in this machine, only first time culture is provided during installation. For the first 30 to 40 days we will get good compost, after that we get burnt compost.
4.Machine maintenance is high, due to the high maintenance expense of machines will be increases.
2.Semi automatic Compost Machine mixing and curring for 20 days.
This type of Compost Machine is also good at working and takes time for composting but makes quality compost but has some disadvantages as compared to others. before telling something advantageous and disadvantageous , see the entire process of this machine.
This Compost Machine is in three steps , after segregation you have to put waste into a mixer machine for half an hour for mixing and then waste can be transferred to the curing section and cured for 12 to 15 days. some carbon source added into waste during mixing.
Advantageous of this machine:
Machine makes compost in a natural way, getting good quality compost after processing for 15 to 20 days.
Machine maintenance is less & no more electricity used.
Disadvantageous of this machine :
After mixing, waste particles are kept in the curing section for 15 days at that time smelling occurs.
here it has to use more sawdust to do composting.
Solar Compost Machine:
It is new innovative Compost Machine that used for composting and make a compost in natural way, its steps are simple and effective, this machine is easy to operate, The Compost Machine is semi automatic, after segregation you can shred waste into shredder and use this machine for composting, composting can be done with natural way with heating mixing ventilation concept, pillow block technology i.e. bearing rolls provided in this machine to rotate HDPE tank or crank handle to mix waste well,

Top 5 Composting techniques which is easy to convert wet waste into useful compost.
There are so many Composting techniques available in market, people are confusing or consider waste to compost is very difficult task, so it is not Easy way, but today in this post I am going to tell you top 5 Composting techniques that we can do compost with easy way and it will be simple or sustainable solutions.
before to know more about composting you should know some basic of Composting, why should we do Compost, Why composting is important things now, Generally there are lot of Benefits of Composting , also here we can reduce waste generated and helps to environment by doing composting. following are top 5 Composting techniques which is most effective and peoples are using these techniques and methods
Top 5 composting techniques…
Compost Pit/ bin
In vessel Composting.
Trench Composting
Vermi-Composting
Solar Composting.
Compost Pit/ bin:
compost pit is one of the composting techniques which is same as trench method, there are two methodes of compost pit you can make one block or one enclosed square type bin and add crushed waste into bin or compost pit , some carbon source will required for compost pit , after crushing waste add carbon source into crushed waste and make compost , it will take more time for composting but it gives best quality compost. and second method is Compost pits are one of the simplest methods of composting organic material for the garden, but they are labor intensive to set up. Once you select a site for your pit, you will need to dig the pit and then add the compost material, such as fruit and vegetable scraps and grass clippings. Once you fill the pit with compostable material, it requires minimal maintenance while the material decomposes into usable organic material for your garden and yard.
In vessel Composting.
in vessel composting techniques means composting can be done in vessel or bin, people may use Compost tumbler or Compost bin , it is enclosed with foam or high polyethylene. Compost Tumbler is one of the best example of in vessel Composting, in vessel composting it is easy for mixing or turning , you can do natural compost by this methode.
In-vessel composting generally describes a group of methods that confine the composting materials within a building, container, or vessel, In-vessel composting systems can consist of metal or plastic tanks or concrete bunkers in which air flow and temperature can be controlled, using the principles of a “bioreactor“. Generally the air circulation is metered in via buried tubes that allow fresh air to be injected under pressure, with the exhaust being extracted through a biofilter, with temperature and moisture conditions monitored using probes in the mass to allow maintenance of optimum aerobic decomposition conditions.
This technique is generally used for municipal scale organic waste processing, including final treatment of sewage biosolids, to a safe stable state for reclamation as a soil amendment. In-vessel composting can also refer to aerated static pile composting with the addition of removable covers that enclose the piles, as with the system in extensive use by farmer groups in Thailand, supported by the National Science and Technology Development Agency there.
Offensive odors are caused by putrefaction (anaerobic decomposition) of nitrogenous animal and vegetable matter gassing off as ammonia. This is controlled with a higher carbon to nitrogen ratio, or increased aeration by ventilation, and use of a coarser grade of carbon material to allow better air circulation. Prevention and capture of any gases naturally occurring (volatile organic compounds) during the hot aerobic composting involved is the objective of the biofilter, and as the filtering material saturates over time, it can be used in the composting process and replaced with fresh material.
A more advanced systems design is able to limit the odor issues considerably, and it is also able to raise the total energy and resource output by integrating in-vessel composting with anaerobic digestion. Through anaerobic decomposition it is also possible to reduce pathogen levels similarly to that of traditional aerated composting when the anaerobic bioreactors operate at thermophilic temperatures, between 41 and 122 °C (106 and 252 °F).
Trench composting:
Trench composting techniques is old method and which is effective method of composting, it is simple method and good idea to dispose wet waste that attract rodents such as meat, dairy, bread and cooked foods etc, also it is best way to dispose pet waste.
You dig a trench or any shape hole approximately 1 feet deep in an open space of your garden, add roughly four to six inches of compostable materials, such as kitchen scraps, spent garden plants, small prunings, thinnings, and weeds, and bury them with the soil you dug out of the trench or hole. burying your kitchen scraps directly into the soil, right in the garden. Dig a hole roughly 12 inches deep and wide enough to bury whatever scraps you have collected, dump in 4-6 inches of compostable material, and cover it back up with dirt.
Vermi-composting:
As a farmer’s friend, we have been learning since childhood about Earthworms and useful information about manure. some people cultivate a hobby of making compost while others learn about this fertilizer to increase the fertility of their land, today I am going to give you information about such Vermicomposting. It takes time for us to do our best to maintain the fertility of the soil. Currently we see that the soil fertility or its level has gone down by chemical treatment, we have learned about many technologies to make compost from wet waste, Earthworm manure is also a technology that we convert wet waste into compost, we use Earthworm to convert wet waste into compost. Uses. We say that Earthworm are the friend of the farmers as they help the farmers to increase their yield by increasing the fertility of the soil by producing proper fertilizer from the waste. at present, the government or the government forces the farmers to grow crops using chemical elements to relieve them, but as a result, the soil becomes accustomed to the chemical elements and the land becomes barren and it becomes very difficult to grow crops and this has adverse effects on the environment. The fertility of the soil is declining day by day. As a result, the cost of production has gone up drastically and as we see farmers going into debt, it is very important to increase the fertility of the land. You can increase soil fertility by using Vermicompost.
Solar Composting:
Solar compost machine:
Basically the solar compost machine works on heat, mix, vent technology and carbon source.
The machine is divided into two parts, use the daily waste to fill the first part, it may take you 5 to 6 days, when the first part is full, you can use it to fill the second part, when the second part is full, you have to prepare compost in the first part. Yes, you can use this compost for the garden.
Solar powered composters are the best waste disposal manager in India, heating can be done with natural sunlight that maintains a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius, in the rainy season you have to add more carbon source to speed up composting, for mixing, you have to rotate crank Handel manually once in a day, for rotating cranking handle, here provided high branded stainless steel shaft with gear mechanism for operation. machine will not stop working under maintenance, Composting has a ventilation process to prevent odors, Composting can be made easier and faster due to ventilation. Carbon source is the main key or heart of composting, you need to add some carbon source to composting to increase the speed. carbon source is basically a material made of branch such as sawdust, coat-peat, grass, dry leaves etc.
Solar is a free energy source we use to save and consume our electricity costs and to dispose of waste.
With the help of solar energy we can convert our daily waste into compost in less time. The method is simple and yet effective. Garbage is first divided into wet waste and dry waste. Wet waste was collected and divided into small particles to catalyze composting.
