Got to your library and get a copy of Worms Eat my Garbage by Mary Applehoff.

Thanks!

The Red Worm Composting site has a lot of info for all stages of vermiculture.

Good luck!

Welcome!
There are lots of great places mentioned already!
You will have lots of fun with your new hobby, I hope. We sure do!

Save your money. There is enough information online that after couple hours you will be ready to set up. redwormcomposting.com is a good place to start. Then watch a couple of the youtube videos. Come back here and read through some of the discussions and you will see how diversified everybody's approach is.

The great thing is that worm keeping is pretty easy once you understand a few basic concepts. Patience is the key.

I'm borrowing Worms Eat My Garbage from the library, and I'm going to use one of the many containers in my house for their home.

I'm new to all this worm stuff so just jumped into it feet first so-to-say. I had junk plastic garbage cans and a lot of old news papers doing nothing.
My wife brought home a dozen (12) red wigglers April 1st and told me to do something with them. I riped up about 5 news papers and soaked them in water and wrung them out, added a handful of dirt and tucked them just under the paper. Left them there for a week and then buried some potato scrapps and just forgot them for a month (on purpose) Added some banana peekings and forgot them again for a month. It's now July and those 12 worms are now 170 and about 20 cacoons to boot.
I guess I did it right.
I'll add more banana peeling as soon as they start to rot some more.
