Germination and growth of vegetables, Chenopodium album (Palakeerai) and Amaranthus sp. (Araikeerai) were observed using the red soil and red soil amended with vermicompost. Germination was slightly delayed in the vermicompost medium than in red soil, whereas the growth was more in soil containing vermicompost than the red soil.
