Hi Anne-Marie!
I am indeed giving it a go. That and slugs, anything for those newts. I have a bin outiside with soil and newspapers and fruit, and I put in worms from the garden and also worms that I got at the pet store, which were reddish. So I think I have two types in there, I don't know how that'll work out (two kinds breeding, or interbreeding). So far there are a good number of worms in there whenever I check. Since the weather's nice, I try to get worms from the garden when I feed, and if I can't get enough, then I raid the culture.
I feed both cultures a lot of overripe fruit and veggies: whenever I'm at work, I clean out the community fridge where everyone always leaves food to let it go bad! Two birds with one stone: clean fridge, free food.
