It's flow-through design. The bottom is initially covered with a sheet of cardboard, which eventually breaks down. The castings are successively harvested from the bottom. Here's an example:

I have more shredded cardboard which I will add to the bedding. I collect the thin corrugated stuff that I can run through my shredder.


Interesting, a real DIY! And a nice amount of work too? Do you have to separate the worms from the castings when it's ready? I'd be very interested in hearing how it works.
You don't kick walls down, you pull the nails out and let them fall.
