the bedding in the 1
st
working tray comes incomplete contact with the bottom of the
2
nd
working tray so that worms can travel through trays) ,and cover with the lid.
6. One week later,add a handful of food only on the new tray (the upper tray) and
bury the foods under the bedding.
7. Continue adding foods when you see approximately half of the foods in the
new tray disappear. Always bury foods under the bedding.
Here are a few tips for adding the 2
nd
working tray or the upper working tray:
●Make sure that the top of the bedding in the 1
st
working tray comes in complete
contact with the bottom of the 2
nd
working tray so that worms can migrate through
trays.
●When the 2
nd
working tray is 70%full,it is time to add the 3
rd
working tray. The
way to add the 3
rd
working tray is the same as adding the 2
nd
working tray
described above.
It is the same for the 4

and 5
th
working trays.
Notes on worm Behavior:
●Worms will migrate upward into the upper working tray to search for food.
●Worms will re-eat their food sources several times. This means worms will
migrate up and down the working trays.
Therefore, it is important to make sure the bedding in the lower tray comes into
incomplete contact with the bottom of the upper working tray to allow the worms to
travel through the trays, and there is no hard barrier(like sheets of newspaper or
others) between trays to block the worms migrating between trays.
Worm-castings Harvest
Keep feeding worm foods into the top working tray. Most of the worms will migrate
to the top working tray for food. The bottom working tray will contain only the worm
castings or worm compost with only a few worms.
When the bedding material in the bottom tray is nearly black,and resembles soil,it
is time to harvest the tray.
If the bottom tray is ready to harvest but there are still some worms in it,which you
