 Vermicomposting and Environmental Impact - 2005/09/21 10:22 Hello all,

I am still learning to navigate the website but I have to tell you I love the new website and I love the new forums.

I have two questions. . .

Does anyone out there know of any new research or recently completed research concerning earthworms and environmental impact?

Are there statistics posted anywhere relating to how much vermicomposting is assiting the environment?

 Re:Vermicomposting and Environmental Impact - 2005/09/21 11:16 Corn Meal!

To answer your questions about research and statistics, I think you may have better luck posting that question over in the Scientific Research and Development discussion forum.

However, if you go to the Home Page of this website and click on Search Articles on the left hand side of the page, you will come to a section which gives you five choices to choose from. Click on the Environmental article link and several articles will show up.

Choose the article titled Earthworm Effects on the Environment.

I hope this helps.

 Re:Vermicomposting and Environmental Impact - 2006/11/21 15:49 Corn Meal, there is another source, if you're interested. Rhonda Sherman is an Ag Extension Ph.D candidate down at North Carolina State University who is, by what I can tell quite knowledgeable. Here’s the link. . . http://www.bae.ncsu.edu/people/faculty/sherman/index.html I missed the workshop she sponsors, this year, but have signed up for the next one; check out the links, especially the Extension Publications.
