Migration Harvest After Worms Were Neglected for 103 Days

The less work, the better- worms will stick around with just a little bit of effort.

Make sure you have damp, shredded cardboard as well as food scraps and some old vermicompost or leaves. Variety is good. 2) Hang a light over the system for several days when you add your worms. This will discourage them from climbing out the top.
