A common question in vermiculture is what is the best animal manure for worms? In this video, we discussed what are the different types of manures that can be used for vermicomposting and we focus on how horse, cow, and chicken manure impact three key variables in your vermicomposting operation. These variables are: worm reproduction, growth, and the content of humid acid of the vermicompost resulting from each sample.
