Harvesting a Worm Bin at City Farmer

Lauren demonstrates two methods of harvesting worms and compost from a worm bin. She also shows us how to make a worm bin from a plastic Rubbermaid bin.

Lauren teaches worm composting to both children and adults at the Vancouver Compost Garden in Vancouver, BC, Canada. This program is jointly run by City Farmer Society and the City of Vancouver.

No offense but the harvesting/separating method seems Tedious and time consuming...why not use a worm bin?

[PacoBell]

Meh, that's why I don't like the plastic bin method. Stacked trays are a much better method as it allows the worms' natural migration pattern to allow them to vacate the compost upward from the bottom tray to the top tray with all the new food. If you've got enough trays, even the eggs will have enough time to hatch and the younglings will migrate upward as well.

If the bin is allowed to get slightly dry before harvesting the worms will migrate towards the new food source quicker. This is especially true if you use moisture containing fruits to "bait" them to the fed side.

Helpful, but would be better to see the actual process happening.
