Wormery advice- I have spent a stinky afternoon clearing out my wormery, and i realsuied i have only got the compost out of it once before today, and that as i was bought it as a leaving pressie from work in a job i finished 5 years ago, i'm not getting exacltyly loads.

The problem is that its a big rectangular womery- not one with the layers you can lift off.

Anyone know any secrets as to how to harvest my worm casts?

Today I dug the whole lot out, most of it was still partially decomposed food and stank, then all the fully eaten stuff was still chock full of worms and really wet, i have been sieving it through a riddle, laying it on card, covered with card board and leaving it overnight to see if the worms come to the top so i can put wem back in the bin and use the compost, but then i was shoveling 4 carrier bags of rot back into the thing.

Now the manual says that the worms eat everything, then keep heading upwards to the new stuff blah blha blah.

There must be an easier way???
