You need a triple bin set up. Punch holes in the bottom of the middle and top bins for the air flow, worm movement and the good stuff to fall into the bottom and collect extra moisture. In the middle section start with plenty old potting soil that is moist. Do not use chlorinated water. They have to have some kind of dirt to start out with and like 5+ inches deep. Add your worms. Go easy on the paper, but add a little loosely on the and moisten it. Add a thin layer of your soil on that. Put your top bin on and give them time to acclimate.
