Residual nutrients from the vermicompost plus any dead roots/dead seeds seem to be enough to keep them going, then once I’ve harvested the microgreens they have lots of old roots/stumps to munch on before I re-sow again on top. They’ve gone a couple of rounds now, and I suspect there are more worms than I originally put in there, and certainly they are a lot bigger (I started with juveniles)! My theory is I’ll be able to keep this going for quite a while without any fungal disease, adding a bit of vermicompost on top each time to top up nutrients removed with the microgreens harvest, because the worms will eat any fungus or dead plant tissue quickly. I’m excited to see how your experiment goes, and I’ll try to keep you updated on mine :-).

I copied your idea and dumped all my old seeds into my two bins. I also (planted) some sprouted potatoes. I will send pictures later.
