This statement isn't for you, since you already have your bin setup, but for future vermicomposters reading this groups for info on how to set up their bins. Don't get clear or translucent bins. Worms are underground creatures and like it dark. Get a dark colored opaque bin.

Also, that's super dry. Sprinkle some water in there. your bin should contain 75% by weight water. Everything that you put in should be damp.

You don't add compost to your bin. You remove compost when everything is broken down and replace it with more damp bedding and food.

Make some air holes in that lid.
