I harvested my worm castings easily using the tips that I got from this article:

Quote:
look for a flat surface where you could dump the contents of your compost bin (a table would do very well). Cover the area with a sheet of plastic and then empty the contents of your compost bin into the flat surface. Shine light (artificial or natural light will do) onto the mound.

Divide the large mound into a number of smaller mounds around the area of the plastic sheet. As the mounds receive more and more light, the Red worms will move downward to avoid the heat and the light. Gather the top layers of the mounds as these are already the compost that you are waiting for. After doing these the worms will again be exposed to more heat and light. This will force them to go even deeper into the mounds. Repeat this process until you are left with the piles which are just enough to house the worms.
I can't post the link here since my account is new.
