    I took delivery of my new wormery on Tuesday, so its only been set up for a few days. I checked on them just now and the coir is drying out- should I add more water? I have loads of damp newspaper on top, but I keep the wormery (for now) in the kitchen so I'm assuming the heating is making it dry out.

    Also another thing - I didn't get very many worms with mine :( I weighed the little bag and it was 460g including the bedding. Should I buy more? Is that going to be enough?

    Thank you!

    The bedding should be damp not wet and certainly not dry.
    As regards the worms, they self regulate their numbers but i would start it off with more than that. There is a seller on ebay called "thecompostadviceservice" that sells dendra worms for £7.70 inc post and there are others with similar pricing so worth a look if you want more.
