The earthworm begins processing the garbage immediately.

Rostrum narrow at bottom, closely adnate, scarcely rising higher than the central tooth; lateral processes small, closely adnate.

Thus earthworms are able to multiply several times in their life span which makes them ideally suited to process even large quantities of garbage.

Rostrum, arising from the rachis, as long as the cell, slender, tubular, adnate; lateral processes very small, ovarian receptacles ? Habitat: Prince of Wales Channel, Torres Strait, in 9 fathoms.

With this, the vermicompost crate or pit will be ready for processing organic waste.
