would like to keep in the bin,it is very easy to separate them from the tray to be

harvested； simply remove the tray to be harvested and place it on top of the top

working tray,and cover it up with the V-Board. Plow the bedding in the tray to be

harvested several times during the day. The remaining worms will move down into

the tray below because of the light. Once the tray is free from worms,it will be

ready to harvest.

Empty the tray that is ready to harvest onto a piece of plastic sheeting. The

compost is now ready to be used. Rinse the tray with water； the rinsed water

also contains rich nutrition that can be used to water your plants. The cleaned

tray is now a new working tray for the continuous rotating cycle.

You can also harvest the worm compost liquid from the food leach. Simply put a

cup(the new VermiHut Plus comes with a cup) under the tap and open the tap to

drain the liquid. The amount of liquid depends on the types of food fed into the

system. If they are juicy food like watermelon,more liquid is expected. You can

collect the compost liquid once a week. The liquid contains rich nutrient that can

be used for plants. However,since it is a concentrated liquid fertilizer,it should be

diluted with water in a 1: 2 volume ratio.

Air,Moisture. Temperature,and pH

●Air. Just like any living animal,worms need oxygen.

Oxygen is also essential for aerobic bacteria,which helps compost organic

materials. The VermiHut and VermiHut Plus worm bin have a special design on the

M-Board and the air-vented lid to allow better airflow (the older version of VermiHut

does not come with the M-Board) . However,if a worm bin is placed in an

air-stagnant environment such as enclosed cabinet,it is difficult to have fresh air

through the system. Therefore,a worm bin should be placed in a good ventilation

area.

●Moisture. The bedding moisture is important to worms since worms take in

oxygen through moisture on their surface. Please refer to the Section of Set-up

and Start-up for how to check the moisture level of the bedding. Ideally,the

bedding should be slightly damp. If the bedding has too much moisture or too
