Wormery - Getting Started

[shivvy]

I have a wormery which is made up of 3 or trays with a tap on the bottom one.
What is my best way to start using it ie getting it established. I tried it once before but it seemed at attract a lot of slugs, the food etc didn't seem to get broken down very much, and the worms eventually dwindled and disappeared/died.
I think i followed all the instructions about what to put in to it and how much etc. But I'd like to start again so all help welcome.
Thanks.

Good luck with that shivvy. I am paying £17+ weekly for my live meal worms. Seems there is plenty of money in it if you succeed.

Money in it ladybirder?? I'm just looking for a good way to dispose of kitchen scraps and maybe a wee bit of of liquid fertiliser if i'm lucky!!

Turning it over, with a fork, regularly will speed up decomposition.
