Definitions

  • This invention relates to an automated worm line, a method for the production of worms and worm compost, and the resulting packaged products - worms and worm compost.
  • Worm compost is the product of the composting process using various species of worms, usually red wigglers, white worms, and other earthworms, to create a mixture of decomposing vegetable or food waste, bedding materials, and wormcast (vermicast).
  • Vermicast also called worm castings, worm humus, worm manure, or worm faeces
  • Vermicast is the end-product of the breakdown of organic matter by earthworms. These castings have been shown to contain reduced levels of contaminants and a higher saturation of nutrients than the organic materials before vermicomposting.
  • Vermicompost contains water-soluble nutrients and is an excellent, nutrient-rich organic fertilizer and soil conditioner. It is used in farming and small scale sustainable, organic farming.
  • large scale is meant a system capable of producing at least 1000Kg of worms per month, more preferably one capable of producing 10,000 Kg of worm per month or more. Such a system will consume at least 10,000 Kg of organic material per month, more preferably at least 100,000Kg of organic material per month.
  • the production process may be a batch process, a semi-continuous process or a continuous process. Most preferably the process is a continuous process.
  • Suitable worm species most often used for composting include the red wiggler or tiger worm (Eisenia fetida or Eisenia andrei); red earthworm (Lumbricus rubellus),and European nightcrawlers (Eisenia hortensis), which are also referred to as Dendrobaenas or Dendras.
  • the vermicompost may be used for farming, landscaping, or for sale. Some of these operations produce worms for bait and/or home vermicomposting.
  • a windrow which consists of bedding materials for the earthworms to live in and acts as a large bin; organic material is added to it. Although the windrow has no physical barriers to prevent worms from escaping, in theory they should not, due to an abundance of organic matter for them to feed on. Often windrows are used on a concrete surface to prevent predators from gaining access to the worm population.
  • the windrow method and compost windrow turners were developed by Fletcher Sims Jr. of the Compost Corporation in Canyon, Texas.
  • the Windrow Composting system is noted as a sustainable, cost-efficient way for farmers to manage dairy waste.
  • the second type of large-scale vermicomposting system is the raised bed or flow through system.
  • the worms are fed an inch (approx’ 2 cm) of "worm chow" across the top of the bed, and an inch (approx’ 2 cm) of castings are harvested from below by pulling a breaker bar across a large mesh screen which forms the base of the bed.

  • xi. one or more compost conveyors for conveying the emptied worms and worm compost from the container emptying station to the separating station; xii. a worm collecting station;
  • xiv. one or more worm compost conveyors to convey the worm compost for collecting.
  • the worm line further comprising
  • an additive filling station where organic material enhancing additives and/ or worm nutrients may be introduced to the organic material filled container in defined amounts.
  • Suitable additive will depend on the organic materials but will typically include the addition of one or more of minerals, a source of nitrates, phosphates, and / or calcium, phyto-hormones and the use of pH control agents.
  • the separating station may perform a number of separations. Firstly, it separates the worms from the worm compost. Secondly it may, optionally, separate the worm compost into two fractions: 1) worm compost containing a high proportion of worm eggs and cocoons (those which fall through fine apertures in the separator) and 2) worm compost which contains a low proportion of worm eggs and cocoons i.e. is considered largely free of worm eggs and cocoons. These different products may be recombined if desired. Thirdly, the worms are separated into worms for harvesting (which are collected, for example bagged or otherwise packaged) and working worms, which are sent back around the system. [0018] In accordance with of a second aspect the present inventions there is provided a method for the automated manufacture of worm compost and worms on a worm line comprising:
