With Spring approaching I'm trying to start sorting some of my bins early and storing the castings. I thought I would show you how I sort using the light method to try and remove the last of the worms from a bin.
Using the light method to sort worms takes more time than some of the other methods and it will also depend on the castings and if they are more dry or very damp.

This worm bin is next to my ANC bin and while I heard they can wonder around I was surprised to find them in this bin. The good news is the other worms look really healthy as well.

Watch this video to learn how to compost with worms at home with simple steps and directions. Only a few items are needed such to start and have most of your food waste stop going into the trash bin.
I compost with cardboard as a bedding for the worms and the food I use is veggie and fruit that is not edible. After those are together you want to add your compost worms.
The big question you need to ask is this for you and how will it help you?

One system looked good the other might be building up too much heat as the bottom was dry and the top was wet which is very unusual. I'll be moving one ANC system on for some time lapse videos just need to decide on which one.

In this will it compost video we are going to place a compostable plastic bag into a worm bin that is already functioning well. Now, these bags are typically meant to be composted in a big expensive facility meant for composting at high temperatures with a lot of different materials.
So I'm adding this to a vermicompost or worm bin to see if the worms can also break down this plastic material. The bag itself is very thin and will hopefully break down but we will have to wait and see!

I have been searching for a way to separate worms from castings and in my search I thought of an idea to use water. This is what I came up with.
