Hi Kyle

Personally, I dont remove ANY cocoons from the VC *at all* – I use a split 4mm/6.5mm screen, and very small worms and cocoons go with the VC to whomever buys it.

I think the cocoon thing is very overrated and driven by commercial growers, who are happy to sift to 1/8 inch to remove cocoons – even if it removes some of the goodness of the VC.

I detail a lot of info and options about harvesting in my FREE Ebook:

Thanks for asking your question

Regards

Brian
