A Worm Bin Attempt (Take 2)

I tried a while back to make a very inexpensive indoor worm bin. The worms (night crawlers purchased from Wal-Mart - MISTAKE #1) died within a week. I used the design from a book about composting. The design had no drainage - MISTAKE #2.

The design shown above is my second attempt. I got it from http://whatcom.wsu.edu/ag/compost/easywormbin.htm. I scavenged some worms from under my rabbit cages. It's very cold right now, so they weren't very active. A 30 minute scavenging expedition resulted in only a few adult worms, and 20 or so juvenile worms, probably around a week old (second photo). The website above tells me I need 1 pound of worms (that's 250 adult worms) to compost a family of four's veggie and coffee scraps. I'll probably just buy a pound of worms online within the next week or so. I was able to fit the worm bin neatly and conveniently next to my kitchen trash. I'll post later about whether I think the bin works or not.
