TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - BIOTECHNOLOGY - Preferred Organism: The worms are earthworms chosen from Eisenia fetida, E.andrei and Amynthas diffringens. The worms digest and metabolize the organic waste to produce vermicast and vermileachate.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INSTRUMENTATION AND TESTING - Preferred Components: The device comprises at least one partition element so as to form at least two regions/compartments within the receptacle. The partition element comprises several apertures to allow the worms to pass through the partition element, thus migrating laterally from one compartment to another, and vice versa. The device comprises at least two receptacles, where the at least two receptacles are placed side-by-side. At least one sidewall of the at least two receptacles includes several apertures to allow the worms to pass through the sidewalls, thus migrating laterally from one receptacle to another, and vice versa. The receptacle is substantially rectangular in shape. The receptacle has length of 80 cm, width of 40 cm and height of 40 cm. The device takes the form of a wormery. The device is fashioned from robust plastic. Each region/compartment comprises a removable lid to facilitate the introduction and removal of the worms, organic waste and the resulting vermicompost. Each region/compartment includes a conduit for allowing any water which may enter the compartment to be channeled out to prevent the earthworms from drowning and/or the organic waste and cardboard layered from becoming saturated. Each region/compartment further includes a filter element to facilitate removal of the resulting vermileachate. The device is placed on a support frame for elevating the device from the ground. The area is of any size, shape and dimension. The area is a rectangular shaped ditch. The filter element is placed over a portion of the surface of the second material to filter the vermileachate passing through and into the conduit. The gutter is included along a portion of the frame for channeling the vermileachate to-be-collected. ACTIVITY - Nematocide. No biological data given.    MECHANISM OF ACTION - None given.    ADMINISTRATION - The vermileachate is diluted with water and applied to plants (claimed). No dosage details given.    EXAMPLE - No suitable example given.
