How do you Empty the Worm Inn? (video)

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDlgJdJPJc4 I've been getting a lot of email regarding how to empty the Worm Inn composting system: How do you get the castings out? How do you keep the worms from escaping? Do you have to screen through all the material you just put in? All questions with super simple answers.
