Earthworms Decomposing and Recycling the Urban Household Garbage

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper expounds the principles and technology of earthworm decomposition of urban living garbage, analyzes the key factors influencing the earthworm activity and decomposition of urban household garbage. The experimental results show that the earthworm processing waste suitable conditions are 23-27 °C for temperature, 60%-80% for humidity, 6-8 for the soil pH. Visible, pH and temperature have much effect on the earthworm activity, when pH< 5.0 or pH > 8.0, or when the temperature is less than 0°C or more than 35°C, the earthworms can't basically survive. The introduction of the earthworm treatment makes the secondary fermentation of compost greatly shorten the processing cycle. At the same time earthworms’ decomposing garbage significantly increases the soil fertilizer effect.
