Moving into a Worm Inn - from a 5 gallon bucket

After this weekend I will have a bag style FT system - significantly similar to the Worm Inn.

I started my bin about a month ago with about 100 EF's and am amazed at how fast they polish off what I have been feeding to them. (was thread "Indoor Newbe - Beddings")

Equinoxequinox suggested I split my population in to two or three bins as a hedge against a mistake causing a bin die off. Would only about 50 worms be enough to start a Worm Inn?

I have a little more than a cubic yard of partially finished traditional compost. At this point in the season active composting is cone outside - hard freeze last night. I hope to finish off as much of the compost as possible with worms. What ratio of bedding to partial composted organic matter should I use when I start my new bin(s)?

My goal with this is mainly VC production for garden use next May.
