This VORS 2021 webinar discusses traditional thermophilic composting and vermicomposting, two very different systems promoting different microbial communities. Mature thermophilic compost is generally slow to release nutrients and is inexpensive. In contrast vermicompost already has high levels of available nutrients and is about 10 times the price of thermophilic compost. The research presented explores potential synergistic nutrient release effects when the two compost types are mixed.
