The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for processing organic waste in an assembly that comprises at least three contiguous containers defining a loop-type horizontal processing line. Each container includes a lid with ventilation holes (1), two perforated vertical walls (3) allowing the worms to move from one container to the next in the loop, a device on the inner side of each perforated wall, for inserting a plate (2) in order to close off optionally said wall, a perforated bottom (4) for liquid flow, a liquid collecting tray (5). A first container is filled with waste on top of which the worms are added. The following containers are in turn filled. After digesting the waste of a container, the worms migrate through the vertical perforated walls towards the following container. The container processed is then emptied of the compost left by the worms and repositioned in the processing line. The containers are arranged so that the line defines a loop, wherein the following container becomes at a given moment the initial container which is again filled with waste. The recommended type of worm is Dindrodrilus rubidus. The method is also suitable for vermiculture. |
