Hi there, I have a very similar stacking tray system (I used to have two). One way to get the worms out of the most finish tray is to move it to the TOP and fluff the contents a few times a day for a couple of days. The worms will all vacate to the tray below! I subscribed and hope you'll do more updates on your worms! ~ Sandra
Hi I just ordered a Worm Cafe' worms will do best in warmer temperatures if the temp gets below 59 - 60 degrees Fahrenheit they will start to slow down and become inactive For best results, most small to medium-sized worm bins should be kept indoors since climate control greatly assists with the effectiveness and consistency of your vermicomposting process. Still, it is perfectly fine to keep bins outside during certain times of year. Just keep in mind that smaller bins (especially anything made of plastic) should be kept out of direct sunlight, ideally in a location protected from precipitation. Also note that the vermicomposting process can slow down significantly when temps drop down below 15 Celsius, and worm bins should never be left outside for very long once temps start to go below the freezing mark. The water in the bottom tray is called worm tea and is and excellent plant food,
Do the worms reproduce ?

Thanks for the tip! I''ll give it a go this week. I'm not sure whether to buy a new separate stack or keep going higher on this one.
