Some have wooden boxes which they would like to reuse. No matter what material you choose, make sure to rinse out the container before using. Cover the bin with a loose fitting lid. This lid should allow air into the bin. As time progresses, you will notice less and less bedding and more and more compost in your bin.
Harvesting means removing the finished compost from the bin.
After several months, worms need to be separated from their castings which, at high concentrations, create an unhealthy environment for them. To prepare for harvesting, do not add new food to the bin for two weeks. Put fresh bedding and food scraps in empty side of bin. Continue burying food scraps only in freshly bedded half. When this has happened, remove the compost and replace it with fresh bedding.
