ABSTRACT:
A process for the conversion of organic agricultural waste into a soil amendment uses earthworms. The organic material is rent into small pieces, placed in a rick with 60% or more moisture. Earthworms are added to the rick for the consumption of the decomposing organic material. Succeeding ricks are added as the material is being consumed until the resulting castings can be most efficiently separated from the earthworms and remaining organic material. Storage as silage of the organic agricultural material may be employed between harvesting and addition of the earthworms.
