Vermicomposting of pre-composted mixed fish/shellfish and green waste

Partially composted mixed fish/shellfish and green waste was further vermicomposted on a large-scale for seven weeks. The composition of the pre-composted waste was such that it had elevated levels of pH and electrical conductivity. In the large-scale vermicomposting system, the earthworms appeared to be reluctant to enter the waste directly for the first three weeks but then actively processed the waste. However,laboratory experiments confirmed that the earthworms would have been capable of processing the waste during this period and increasing their biomass significantly as a result. It is likely that the earthworms were ingesting and processing the waste during the first three weeks while remaining in the bedding material. Greenhouse gas emissions were found to be low, probably due to the pre-composting phase reducing carbon and nitrogen contents. The vermicompost which was derived from the process showed the high nitrate concentration which is characteristic of typical“vermicomposts”. On the basis of this and other characteristics, it would appear that the vermicompost would be capable of being used as a basis for the formulation of high value composts.
