Today I want to provide an update on my vermicomposting flow through trays. The tray is pretty full and the contents I would guess are about 80% processed. In my case, that's good enough to use. So what did I do? Well, I wanted to remove the worms from the tray but I don't want to sort through the contents since there's a lot of material there. What I did instead was to put another tray on top of it with a good number of wet cardboard and paper. At the bottom of the upper tray, I also put in a watermelon rind and a couple of banana peels just to entice the worms. 
Two days later, I found worms already hanging at the bottom of the upper tray. Migration has begun. Earlier when I was looking, I also found lots of worms on the upper part of the lower tray. Yey! At least I know vertical migration works.
A couple of entries ago, I also talked about seeds germinating in my worm bin. I took this picture earlier. It's just getting silly. There must be dozens of seedlings in my tray. They're probably mostly melons. I'm not sure what to do with the tray. Should I harvest the vermicompost or should I just let the worms migrate for another day or two and then use the tray as a seedling bed? Never mind that I'll leave a couple of worms there. That should be good for the seedlings
right?
