NOVELTY - The vermicomposting apparatus and system, comprises: a container (12); a conduit that includes a first end and an opposite second end; a unit for providing a predetermined volume at the bottom of the container that is sufficient to hold a predetermined quantity of fluid; a flexible screen that is placed over the conduit and over the unit for providing a predetermined volume; a sheet of non-porous material that is placed on top of the screen; and a starter mix that is supplied with the apparatus and which is used to provide a habitat for earthworms that are used with the apparatus.    USE - The vermicomposting apparatus and system is useful for decomposing organic vegetable matter and producing dry or wet fertilizer in liquid form using red wigglers.    ADVANTAGE - The self-contained, reliable and portable vermicomposting apparatus and system lessens the likelihood of a high worm mortality rate occurring, can be economically manufactured, does not require the periodic rotation of trays, does not include removable trays, provides a greater span of time of inattention and inactivity before a significant increase in worm mortality occurs, does not clog, keeps flies and other undesirable life forms from entering into an interior of a container, provides a fail-safe unit to prevent worms from drowning if an excessive quantity of water is added to the apparatus, can be used in indoors, and maintains proper humidity.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The vermicomposting apparatus and system, comprises: a container (12); a conduit that includes a first end and an opposite second end; a unit for providing a predetermined volume at the bottom of the container that is sufficient to hold a predetermined quantity of fluid; a flexible screen that is placed over the conduit and over the unit for providing a predetermined volume; a sheet of non-porous material that is placed on top of the screen; a starter mix that is supplied with the apparatus and which is used to provide a habitat for earthworms that are used with the apparatus; a lid that is detachably-attachable with respect to a top of the container; a vent attached to the container; and a spray mister. The first end is elevated with respect to the second end. The conduit is disposed in an interior of the container and proximate to a bottom of the container. The second end of the conduit is attached to a member that passes through an opening provided at a bottom of the container. The conduit includes spaced-apart fluid collection openings that extend along a longitudinal length of the conduit. The fluid collection openings are disposed in two spaced-apart rows. Each of the rows is disposed at a bottom of the conduit and on an opposite side of a bottom center longitudinal axis of the conduit. Each of the two rows of fluid collection openings is disposed approximately 30 degrees from the bottom center longitudinal axis of the conduit. An effluent that is produced in the apparatus is able to flow into the conduit through the fluid collection openings that are disposed in the two spaced-apart rows. The effluent that has entered into the conduit through the fluid collection openings that are disposed in the two spaced-apart rows is able to flow downward in the conduit along the bottom center longitudinal axis of the conduit without contact or interference to the flow of the effluent by the fluid collection openings in the two spaced-apart rows. The conduit includes a cluster of fluid collection openings that are disposed at the second end of the conduit. The cluster is disposed at a lower elevation than the fluid collection openings in the two spaced-apart rows. The cluster has a greater density and number of fluid collection openings along a longitudinal length of the cluster than occurs along an equivalent longitudinal length of any portion of the two spaced-apart rows. The unit for providing a predetermined volume includes: a quantity of gravel disposed at the bottom of the container; and a honeycomb type of structure that is disposed at the bottom of the container. The conduit includes a vent hole that is provided at an upper portion of the conduit. The first end of the conduit includes an end cap. The member includes a spigot. The sheet of non-porous material is used for the harvesting of earthworm castings by urging the earthworm castings off of the sheet. The starter mix includes nutrients for the worms to consume and to better adapt to placement in the container. The vent includes a screen insert covering that prevents flies from entering into or exiting from the container. The container includes a handle. The spray mister is configured for supplying a quantity of water mist to the interior of the container to maintain a desired level of humidity in the container.
