Co-edited by international earthworm expert Clive A. Edwards,
Vermiculture Technology: Earthworms, Organic Wastes, and
Environmental Management is the first international, comprehensive,
and definitive work on how earthworms and microorganisms interact
to break down organic wastes on a commercial basis. Many books
cover the importance of composting for reducing the amount of
organic wastes in landfills. This reference focuses on innovative
vermiculture technology that turns organic waste into a value-added
environmentally friendly products that can improve soil fertility
and productivity on a large scale. Chronicles more than two decades
of growth and changes in earthworm composting technologyBased on
the work of an outstanding international cast of scientists, the
book explores the dramatic growth and changes in vermiculture
technology since 1988 and assesses advances made in
government-funded projects in the United States and United Kingdom.
The contributors discuss outdoor and indoor windrows, container
systems, wedge systems, and low labor-requirement, fully-automated
continuous flow vermicomposting reactor systems that can process
more than 1000 tons of organic wastes per reactor per annum. They
also highlight the science and biology behind the use and efficacy
of vermicomposting, examine its importance to developing countries,
and detail the technology of the past, present, and future.
Although the development of a range of vermicomposting technologies
has been rapid and the spread of vermicomposting dramatic, the
scientific literature remains scattered throughout a range of
journals, newsletters, and online resources. As a compilation of
information designed specifically to have an extended shelf life,
this volume chronicles how vermiculture can be brought into full
commercial and industrial development and find application in
integrated waste management systems.
