I then mix up everything that remains, shake the bin to level it, add some new food scraps, cover the surface with a piece of black plastic and I am done harvesting the vermicompost. I keep doing this until I am close to the top of the new bedding. When I start to find lots of worms as I am scooping out the compost, I wait a while for those worms to continue migrating down. I then scoop the top of the compost they leave behind into a container (another old driveway sealer container). I leave the bin exposed to bright light (sunlight is great but indoor light works during the cold months) and wait several hours to allow the worms to migrate away from the top of the bin. The objective is to have the worms crawl down out of the compost and into the new bedding below (thus separating themselves from the finished compost). I then put on top the worms and compost that had just been removed from the bin.
