I've rearranged my drawers during the past couple of days, picked out quite a few more dead beetles and modified my record-keeping method.
My first two siftings are down to not-so-many worms now, so I moved them to a plastic shoebox, since I planned on sifting the beetles again and needed their drawer for the new sifting. The drawer which was sifted on May 21 is the only other drawer which has worms big enough to harvest. I have four more drawers which have tiny worms. I sifted the beetles again tonight, and when I looked closely at the siftings, there are already some tiny worms in there.
I was having a hard time figuring out how to keep my log, so I added a "batch number" to each sifting to help when I combine them as I harvest.
My last three drawers have been sifted at about two-week intervals, and that seems to be better. I'm hoping my worms will be more uniform in size.
