My newer bin of worms were ready for harvesting. Most of the worms had moved over and they were getting a bit restless. Today was cloudy and I wasn't looking forward to the task. I'm usually excited about harvesting castings because then you're able to see any new babies and observe how much the bin has grown. BUT, today was chilly and dreary. :-( I spread my plastic trash bag on the floor and started scooping up the castings and made two piles.
When you wait a couple of minutes, the worms move down to the bottom to get away from the light. Then you just scoop the casting from the top. Once you get towards the bottom, you'll end up with a pile of worms that can be easily scooped up and placed back in the bin.
As I was going along, harvesting was going a bit slow, but then I got the BESTEST SURPRISE EVER!!
