Hi

Today I want to let you know how we harvest our worm castings, but

First you will want to feed your worms in 1 corner a few weeks prior to harvesting so the worms go to 1 side.  If some worms do get through, it is not a big deal.  Having worms in your garden is great too!  

After all the worms are to one side, you can scoop out the worm castings from the other side.  If you want to scoop them and put them into a pail and don’t have a screen, you can just remove any lumps or chunks you may have and put back into the  bin, but if you have some sort of large screen, you can also sift the castings through to get the chunks out.  Any material that hasn’t been broken down can go back into the bin for the worms to break down as well.

I like to sprinkle this around my fruit trees and plants, but you don’t need too much.  Remember, this is organic and it is completely safe, but you also don’t need much!  Using the worm compost just assures you that you are not getting the chemicals in the food you are eating, so this is the most important reason for you to use worm castings as well!
