NOVELTY - Device comprises receptacle for receiving organic waste and for receiving several worms, where the receptacle is designed and configured to allow several worms to migrate laterally from one region of the receptacle to another region of the receptacle, and vice versa, allowing the worms to metabolize the organic waste to produce vermicast, and the resultant vermicast together with the organic waste is utilized and applied as vermicompost.    USE - The device is used in kit for producing vermicompost, vermicast, and vermileachate (claimed) which are used in growing orchards, tree plantations and grass pastures and suppressing soil-borne plant diseases and nematode populations.    ADVANTAGE - The device achieves results chosen from (i) providing vermicompost which stimulates plant growth and health, (ii) providing vermicompost which revitalizes soil structure with respect to porosity, aeration and drainage, thus improving the plants capacity to absorb nutrients, (iii) providing vermicompost which reduces acid and alkali conditions in the soil, (iv) providing vermicompost which improves the moisture holding capacity of soils which, in turn, increases water absorption and retention, (v) providing vermicompost which increases microbial diversity and populations, thus allowing for more beneficial bacteria, fungi and other microbes in the soil which serves to suppress soil-borne plant diseases and nematode populations, (vi) providing vermicompost which substantially reduces fertilizer/compost costs, (vii) providing vermicompost which increases crop yields in respect of, inter alia, orchards, tree plantations and grass pastures, (viii) providing vermicompost which is inexpensive and affordable, (ix) providing vermicompost which allows for the efficient recycle of organic waste, and (x) providing vermicompost which is easy and convenient to produce.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for method for producing vermicompost, which involves (a) providing an area for receiving organic waste and for receiving several worms, where at least a portion of the bottom surface of the area is sloped, (b) providing a frame suitable for surrounding the area, (c) providing a cavity within the area, which extends from one end of the slope to the other, (d) lining the area and cavity with a first material, (e) providing a conduit in the lined cavity for receiving and transporting vermin leachate, (f) placing a second material over the surface of the first material and the conduit, where the second material has several apertures, (g) placing a desired amount of organic waste and several worms on the surface of the second material in a manner that allows the worms to migrate laterally within the area, and (h) placing a sheet of a third material over the area thus covering the organic waste and the worms.
