Bedding is typically a high carbon substrate such as damp newspaper or coconut husk.You put food in the box and cover it with the damp bedding. If it stinks, or gets to wet or is overcome by gnats you may want to sift out the worms and start over.Perhaps every 6 months you should divide out your worms, sift out the worm castings/poop (dark black fertilizer) and restart the system. DO NOT ADD BANANA PEELS to your worm bin. They always have flies in them which will contaminate your box and make it nasty.

How much newspaper and compost do you put in a worm farm?
If you have a small worm farm made out of crates, then you can put a thick wet newspaper at the bottom of the worms' bedding box. The worms will eventually eat this. You can use torn strips of wet newspaper (squeeze most of the water out) as part of their bedding, if you can't find well rotted compost or manure. You can use wet newspaper as food, or as a cover over the top of the food to keep out the light. When the worms start eating the newspaper cover, you know they want some more food.
