The correct answer is
Vermicomposting
Vermicomposting: Composting with Earthworms
The specific method that uses earthworms to break down organic material, such as kitchen garbage, into a nutrient-rich compost is known as Vermicomposting.
Understanding Vermicomposting
- Definition: Vermicomposting is a process of composting using various species of earthworms to create a mixture of decomposing vegetable or food waste, bedding materials, and worm castings.
- Application: It is highly effective for recycling kitchen waste and other organic materials.
Analyzing the Options
- Wormicombustion: This term is not standard for composting with earthworms.
- Garb-condensation: This term is irrelevant to composting or earthworms.
- Vermicomposting: This term accurately describes composting using earthworms (Vermi = worm, composting = decomposition of organic matter). This matches the question's description of using earthworms for kitchen garbage compost.
- Kitchen-garden recycling: This is a broad term and does not specifically refer to the earthworm method.
Therefore, the method of making compost from kitchen garbage using earthworms is correctly identified as Vermicomposting.
