How do you start a wormfarm?

To start worm farming you will need a strong container about 7" deep, 9-10" wide and 14-16" in length. In the container add shredded newspaper (not colored paper) dampened, but not soaked. Add a few handfuls of garden soil, a few crushed egg shells and the worms. Worms most suitable for worm composting farms are red worms (also known as red wrigglers or manure worms), blue worms and tiger worms. Keep the bedding material moist. Place in shaded or dark area.
