How many worms do I start with
A: There is no absolute answer to how many worms your should start with. The worm bin will hold up to 10 lbs of worms. The starting quantity depends on whether you want to jump start right into composting materials. Or to spend the first few months growing worms. The less worms you start with, the less material that you can compost. On the flipside, the more worms you have (meaning a full house) the less multiplying the worms will do. Quite a dynamic equation.

Best to use no more than 2 lb per tray to start. You can use 3-4 lbs per tray if your do not want to have the worms breeding. They do not breed much if the conditions are congested. But, they will eat lots in each tray.
