Manually Harvesting Castings And Casings
Posted by admin
You will need to do this if you are using a homemade worm bin or one that does not allow for easy movement of the worms between bins. If your worm bin is part of any of the purchased worm farms, you will probably be able to do most the sorting in the bin.
The first thing is to allow the worms to work in their new bin for around three months. After this, dump its contents out onto plastic or a piece of paper, under a bright light. Allow the worms to burrow through to the bottom. Then sort through for the castings and casings.
The worms will now be in a pile at the bottom of the soil. You will be able to count and sort your worms. Then divide them and place them into their new bins.
