<p>A vermicomposter apparatus 50 to treat organic matter with worms, comprises a receptacle 60 with side walls, an upper entry aperture, a lower discharge aperture, and a base lid. At least a portion of the side walls are downwardly tapering to facilitate compression of organic matter as the organic matter is processed. The upper aperture is defined by an upper periphery 30 of the respective sidewalls for loading the receptacle 60 with the organic matter and worms. The lower aperture is defined by a lower periphery of the respective side walls and is used to discharge compressed material comprising castings and organic matter. The base lid is adapted to releasably close the discharge aperture and to permit removal of the compressed material from the receptacle 60.</p> |
