and 1/3 peat moss. seems to work well.

I used 100% soaked plain cardboard when I started then I just used whatever was handy like old potting soil, more cardboard or whatever that was a "brown". They especially love fall leaves.

does that mean you have to feed them more often, given their high number?

had to do a little upkeep on bins today.
on the top is a cloth to keep bugs out.
they call it a drain cloth. is one on top and
one on bottom of bin. well the worms started
bedding in the top one. so got new drain cloths.
cleaned out old ones of worms and castings.
then replaced them with new ones. good for a few
more years now.
