Start slow, take your time and read about vermicomposting.

The most important attribute of a successful worm composter is PATIENCE! :)

2 pounds is a little crowded for one tray of a Worm Factory. Whether to add another tray now is a judgment call. Your worms may be OK, but they don't have room to expand.

Did you purchase one of those worm factories from amazon? I think that's also what I have. I pyrchased 200 worns to start with and when I added another 1000 I noticed it got a lot hotter in there. 2000 seems like a lot if it's the type of bin I'm thinking of.

Hey folks...I run a small non-profit worm composting business and we have free worm workshops once a month. You can get all of these kinds of questions answered, learn how to start a worm bin, take care of your worms, harvest castings, and of course buy worms, bins, and vermicompost.
