Thus kitchen waste like peels of fruits and vegetables, leaves, unused vegetables and raw foods could be left in the basket for a week or more.A suitable number of worms are required to be added to accelerate the process of composting.The end product is a healthy, chemical free compost that is usable for kitchen gardens, terrace gardens and potted gardens.
