Great meeting you as well. The conference was an amazing way to connect with other worm people. Looking forward to next year! wormfarmingconference.com
They are too wet. I’ve personally found the best way to dry them is to dump them into a mortar try and spread them out into a depth 1-2”, just enough room for any worms left behind. Run your hands through them a few times a day, breaking up any clumps as you do. You could also use a blunt garden hand rake. After a few days they should be dry enough to sift. Pull as many worms out as you can before spreading and continue to remove more as the castings dry a bit. Don’t let them dry completely, just enough to work with. If you take a small amount, gently squeeze into a ball it should hold together until you poke it, then it should start breaking apart. If it doesn’t break up let it dry a bit more, if it falls apart as soon as you open your hand then it’s too dry and the worms let behind might start dying as will some of the wonderful microbes, cocoons will be fine. I hope this comes soon enough and your able to have some nice castings to use. Sticky castings can still be used but it’s impossible to sift out the worms, although you can remove them with the “light method”.
I love worm farm video's. This one did not work for me as the poor fellow kept getting interrupted and not given ample time to explain any aspect of the farm.
Wow, love the greenhouse. That's like the one I first built when I started. Thanks for your support on worms glad you liked them!!
That sander shaker is a great idea!

Thanks that helps a lot

I am building a sifter, Does the eggs fall into the 1/4 holes???
They do at 1/4. They don't at 1/8 (even that if they have already hatched they do pass through)
Some cocoons will fall through the 1/8” holes if the worms are on the smaller side, but they won’t with a 1/20” hole size.
Awesome 😎
👍👍👍

What are the dimensions of the crates
"IBC" Totes.. basically the same dimension as a standard pallet.
