Harvesting / Collecting Worm Cocoons 2 Years, 7 Months ago
Karma: 1
Howdy, anyone willing to share info on how to separate cocoons from castings?
I'm currently screening castings with a 1/8" home-made rotary screen. It does extremely well at separating the worms and larger chunks from the castings, but allows many cocoons to fall through.
Even if my harvester did catch cocoons (3/32" or 1/16" screen), there's still the labor of separating the cocoons from the larger chunks also caught by the screen.
How is this done commercially? I don't have any intention of selling cocoons (way too small for that), but am just curious how it's done.
