I always keep the lowest working tray as the worms’ ‘home’ and use the tray above to fill with food scraps and soil. By the time this upper tray is full (after a few months), most of the worms have moved into it. At this point, I remove the lower tray, empty it of castings then hose it out and rotate it to the top of the worm farm. Then I start again, by adding food and soil to the clean top tray. read more

When it comes to feeding your garden, place small amounts of castings on planted areas or mix castings with water in a bucket then pour it around the plants. Always cover the castings with mulch.
The most important rule is to use less castings around your younger plants and more around the established plants.
All the best with your worms and garden.

Castings – or worm poo - are great for plants in your garden or in pots.
Before you plant, dig small amounts of castings around the drip line of your fruit trees, or in your veggie garden beds and pots.
Drain the worm juice from your worm farm every week and dilute it 1 part worm juice to 10 parts water, then pour it around the base of your fruit, vege and flower plants – now, watch them come to life over the coming months!
What can I do with the castings and worm tea?

But from what you're syaing above I should put the castings in tary 2 and let them live in tray 1? Is this right? Many Thanks Esther
