Crucially, as Sitton explains, vermicomposting is not just another waste reduction methodology, or a way to make compost faster or more efficient — there seems to be
a qualitative difference in the end product that results in better plant growth and decreased instances of disease:

end are both temporally separated and qualitatively different, and since it is possible to analyze what must take place for the
qualitative difference to come into being, it is appropriate to speak of the act of decision as a process
in spite of its indivisible unity.
