Their numbers will grow fast, because they"re wallowing in the lap of worm luxury, if worms had laps. Expect a colony of 3600 worms, all working for you. How does it work? It"s easy. Fill each tray with scraps: vegetables, fruits, egg shells, coffee grounds, and paper (yep, junk mail is worm candy). Your worms will dig in, happily, silently, odorlessly, leaving behind the very best compost available, for free. Your plants will go nuts. You don"t have to sift through the wiggly workers because they"ve already moved up to the next tray.
