With this setup, I settled at a steady rhythm. I feed the worms every six days, which I dub a #wormWeek. I alternate between two spots, left and right. There is a third spot which I never feed, at the back. Theoretically, I might skip a feeding if the worms didn't finish the previous feeding in the same spot, but this almost never happens anymore. The feedings have a consistent size, because I buffer them in external containers, and I know the animals can keep up with this ration.

Every day, I scrape a layer from the top of the colander and sieve it. What falls through the sieve are my finished castings, ready to use. What stays behind goes back in the top of the bin. When the colander is almost empty, I refill it with the contents of the salad bowl and I open the bottom of the bin to refill the bowl. In this way, the bin, the bowl and the colander form a #cycle, but with a net outflow at the colander and a net inflow at the bin.
