This duo are worm wranglers

PHILOMATH, Ore. (AP) - May 4, 2009

The Oregon couple has spent years developing what they call a worm reactor.

It's a giant, automated compost box.

Chopped food waste goes in and fertilizer comes out.

Red wiggler worms do all the work in between.

The couple says a large scale worm reactor could consume up to eight tons of trash a day.

They tell the Salem Statesman Journal they would like to setup a demonstration worm project at the Corvallis airport.
