I can see that at least a few worms are moving into the new worm tray that I added two days ago in my Worm Factory 360. Out of curiosity, I lifted the tray up and saw quite a few Red Wigglers at the top of the lower tray, where I never saw them before. I assume they are also headed for the new tray and “fresh” food. The simplicity of the upward migration system of a unit like the Worm Factory 360 is great for someone like me, who does not really want to interact with the worms too much. Eventually, my lower tray will be full of worm castings and most of the worms will have moved up to another tray. When that happens, I’ll take the lower tray and put it on as the top tray and leave the lid off during one day of daylight to get any remaining worms to climb back down to the lower trays. At that point, I can easily harvest a tray full of worm castings. Hopefully, I’m on track to harvest the first tray at 3 months and then one tray a month after that.
