Biodegradable waste for e.g. food waste such as fruit and vegetable peels, meat & bones, leaves, flowers etc can be recycled by the method of composting. It is a natural process that recycles the nutrients in the waste to yield manure or compost. The manure is very rich in nutrients and is an excellent medium for growing plants. Vermi-composting is a method of composting where compost is made from biodegradable waste with the help of a type of earthworms called red worms. The red worms eat biodegradable kitchen waste & convert it into compost, which is an excellent manure.
