Just finished harvesting the worm castings
All finished with the worm castings. It took about an hour to harvest all the worms castings, which by the way there was a total of 2.5lbs. of worm castings. Yes, thats right, 2 1/2 pounds of worm castings in three months! I found many, many baby worms while digging through the castings. Overall the worm composting bin seems to working great and is in excellent working order. The worms seems happy and are reproducing at a very fast rate. Photos to come later....

Goin to harvest the worm castings today
So after about 3 months I will be harvesting all the worm castings I have at this time in our worm composting bin. When I add food to the compost bin, it looks like there is a lot of castings to get. I plan on making worm tea as well as spreading the castings as a top dressings in the garden.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there!
I know the worms in the worm composting bin are going to eat well for a while with all these kitchen scraps today :)
