Blugh! Not really, but I have got a wormery. The wormery bin itself was gifted on freecycle. I had a quick google and saw that one of my favourite companies www.wigglywigglers.co.uk still sold the rescue kits for this type of wormery even though the unit itself was discontinued.
That made my life a whole load easier ;)
So here's the photo by photo breakdown of putting a wormery bin together using a rescue kit.
Soak bedding block in some water for 20 mins.
In the meantime, pop your drainage chips in the bottom of the bin
Place the woven liner on top, just like a binbag
Grab some food waste for their first meal
Make sure your helpers are watching
Make sure your liner is spread out at the bottom of the bin
and add the bedding block which should now look a bit like this
Open up your package of worms
Allow small person to stroke them and say hello
Make a hollow in your bedding layer and tip the worms in
Chuck your food waste on top, about a 3 inch layer
Fold over the top of the liner and tie off
Keep it like this for a week to keep the worms secure while they make a home for themselves. In a week I'll open it up, feed them again and pop a moisture mat on top. The liner can then be kept untied and the worms should live happily in the bin.
I'll take more photos and update in a week :)
