If you google lombricompost, you only get Spanish references, but if you google vermicompost, you will get thousands of English references. Try it..
Peer comment(s):

neutral BelkisDV : There are several technical words for it, not just one. I don't go by the number of "hits", that only shows how many times the term has been researched. All my answers are based on my academic and professional experience. Please let the asker decide.

The references provided are in English. "Mane"; however is a typo and Spanish/English should be capitalized in English. Thank you.
neutral Roberto Rey : Belkis, the number of google hits are not the numer of times the term is has researched its the number of times the term is found in google and I ´m sorry but it is VERY important for a translator to take that into account

Yes Roberto, and the search is based on several factors. Results vary depending on the way the search is conducted. Thank you. Apology unnecessary, I was one of the first to use the internet as a resource for KudoZ, instead of just dictionaries.
