Earthworm waste is a high quality organic fertilizer consisting primarily of clean dirt and nutrients good for plants...not something that needs to be cleaned out of the bin.
You simply bury some dried weeds to prevent worm starvation.
I had another thought on the issue...if the worms bother the cricket eggs, then use the typical wire over dirt in a seperate container idea for a breeder bin, and then put the containers in the worm bin to hatch and grow. That would keep the eggs away from the worms, and you simply use the bin as a growing container. If it works the way I think it will, it should be virtually maintenance free--just put in moist greens/fruit/veggies for water, and a bit of dry food in a dish, when the greens dry out, bury them, and add more.
No cleaning should be required. Anything moldy you could simply bury deep, the worms will take care of it.
