i use 3 different batches , staggered starting times & the 1st use bin is done material that goes to slightly dry & then a sealed 5 gal bucket for storage till use . i leave cocoons i don't feed for weeks to let them recycle , then i move them as they come to top ,sometimes i screen but most i don't need to .Ah OK so there is a sort of rhythm to the harvesting, you can't just go, "oh, I need a handful of VC here" and go pull it anytime, which was kind of the expectation somehow created in my head haha
Sounds like you then need to harvest in small amounts - like before feeding?
Would make sense, scratch bottom, then feed top... but purposely letting the bag dry for a few days before... hm.
Does that in any way resemble your practice/experience?
Cheers!
i feed comfrey ground avocado pit , neem , oystser shell flour , banana peel , squash , male pot plants
i only used the colored newsprint non glossy for bedding i use coco as well
i harvest the locals during the winter rains , the seem better eaters than the red wigglers
