I used a large plastic tote. Shred some news paper and put in the bottom, put about 2 inches of soil over that, moisten with water, put the worms in. They will eat garbage, like vegatables and grass clippings.

WORM HOW TOs & WHAT TOs
tells you on http://www.topline-2000.com/care3.html
“Those who try and fail, (whether with home vermicomposting or commercial) to keep a healthy worm population, probably have not done there homework or perhaps they have trouble with the concept of “enclosed ecosystems”.
and on page http://www.topline-2000.com/care4.html
“What do you want them to do for you? Which kind of worm is compatible with your desires/goals?”
But there are more webpages like:

And when you talk worms, then you have to realize that there are lots of different species out there.
look e.g. at
