Nitrogen and major nutrients were best preserved in the EC 7.5% treatment, which produced a compost product with a better nutrient profile. The addition of EC reduced ammonia, methane, and nitrous oxide emissions by 61%, 48%, and 94%, respectively, also indicating that nitrogen in the compost was conserved. In addition, EC amendment prolonged the thermophilic stage and shortened the composting period. The results showed that the GHG and ammonia emissions were considerably reduced in the treatments with EC added. Four treatments with different proportions of EC added (0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, and 7.5% on the basis of the initial kitchen waste mass) were designed and utilized in a composting process lasting 85 days. Kitchen waste (KW) was mixed with sawdust at a ratio of 7:3 as the compost stock. Water in thoroughly.In this study, we demonstrate that the addition of earthworm castings (EC) in kitchen waste composting reduces ammonia and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improves compost maturity. For both applications, reapply 3-4 times a year. For existing trees and shrubs, apply 1/2-2 cups (depending on the size of the plant) to the drip line of tree or shrub as a topdressing.
