This article explores the ontological and ethical implications of interactions between humans and worms, particularly within the context of vermicomposting. Bertoni draws on ethnographic research conducted in Italy to examine how the practice of composting with worms challenges conventional understandings of nature and waste. He argues that vermicomposting creates a hybrid space where the boundaries between human and non-human, culture and nature, become blurred, prompting a re-evaluation of our relationships with other species and the environment. The article highlights the affective dimensions of these encounters, emphasizing the role of disgust and fascination in shaping human perceptions of worms and the decomposition process. By analyzing the embodied experiences of composters, Bertoni reveals how vermicomposting can foster a sense of ecological interconnectedness and promote more sustainable practices.
