Crawling up vs. crawling down

19 years ago

I have been using my Worm Factory for 4 months now. I've got some great castings and would like to harvest them, but I'm having trouble because the worms aren't behaving as everyone says they should.

The general advice is to stop putting food in the bottom tray, so the worms will leave and go to a higher tray. I stopped putting food in the bottom tray weeks ago, but they won't leave. I think the worms are likes the bottom tray better, because the weather has been warm and it's it cooler there than the top trays, where the food is. They have turned the organic matter in the bottom tray into a beautiful sludge, and becoming more sludge-like the longer that I don't feed them.

Any suggestions on what I should do?
