Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for vermicomposting includes a compost container with an interior, a stand rotatably supporting the compost container between first and second positions, and first and second diametrically-opposed lids for accessing the interior of the compost container to fill and maintain the compost container with organic matter for vermicomposting therein. The first lid is positioned above the interior in the first position, and the second lid is positioned above the interior in the second position. A user can open one lid to fill and maintain the compost container, and after a sufficient period of time of vermicomposting to produce a layer of vermicast, the user can rotate the compost container from one position to the other and open the other lid to harvest the layer of vermicast. A method of using the apparatus is also disclosed.
