Try this unique way to add another worm bin or tray to your worm tower system! Worm towers are great ways to turn your plant based food scraps, junk mail & cardboard boxes into fantastic natural fertilizer & soil amendments in the form of worm castings!
In this video I take the bottom tray from 40 days ago that I filled with cardboard bedding & nothing else & I put it on top to be the active tray. The hope is that it was inoculated with beneficial microbes while it was below 2 trays in the tower system. I also try a technique a couple of commenters suggested where I put the tray which is ready to be harvested (previously the middle tray) and I put it on the new active tray, agitate the castings in the hope that the worms will flee downward into the new active tray. You'll have to watch the next video in the series to see if it worked!
