Waste materials generated from different resource ultimately enter into natural environment e.g., water and soil without any change. Ujjain is a holy city with various temples for pilgrims. Routinely flowers are used in the temple for the Pooja-Archana and after use dumped in the soil as such which ultimately increase the chance of contamination/pollution in and around the area. Vermi-technology is an economic, ecofriendly and employing, technique in which worms are used to produce compost. Floral waste collected, chopped, mixed with worms in a proportion and kept for some period of time for the compost preparation. Using this technology we can transform the harmful waste into useful compost. The compost is called vermicompost can be effectively applied into the field, garden, for improvement of plant health without harming the soil fertility
