Abstract

A compost maker comprises a container (1) having a perforated inner base (2) defining a sump region (3), having a tap (4) for removing liquid formed during compost making, and a compost forming regions closed by a lid (5) for the container. Compost is made by placing worms, particularly of the species Eisenia Foetida and/or Eisenia Andrei, and compost forming organic material in the compost forming region. The worms feed on the organic material and generate compost. The compost maker may include a worm collector comprising a container having a perforated base and a container, which in use is used to continue compost making so as to attract the worms into the worms collector enabling the main bin to be emptied and compost making to be restarted using the worms from the worm collector. <IMAGE>
