the heat and moisture which are essential for compost.
Mix or turn the pile by either shovel or pitchfork. This aerates the pile. By turning  or mixing
adds oxygen. Now the compost pile ready for use.

Earth worms are the heroes of organic farming. The vermicompost is the excreta of earth worms.All the types of earth worms are not used for making vermicompost. there are specific two types of

warms extensively used for the vermicompost.

• One is African earth worms or Red wigglers (Elsenic foetide)
• The second type is Japanese earth worms or red earth worms (Lumbricus rebullus)
