Hi there, I've bought 2 wormeries and have made one from free recycle bins from the council. I used 2 bricks in the bottom 1 then put some holes in the 1 above, covered the bottom with wet ripped up cardboard , bought some tiger worms from fishing tackle shop put them in and some home made compost. (Kitchen waste) that had been hanging in a plastic bag for a couple of weeks. Mainly banana skins egg shells, rotten bread and very finely peeled veg skins. Good luck. It's the only thing I've found that is a doddle and stress free.
