It's been about six weeks since the purchase of my Worm Factory. There's not really too much to say about it. I shred up cardboard, crush up eggs, put in vegetable/fruit scraps and coffee grounds, and the worms eat them. The cardboard is so absorbent that I haven't had any drainage at all into the reservoir. I prefer using cardboard to shredded paper because of that. The paper gets so soggy. I just stick my shredded paper in my backyard bin.
I do wish that I had bought more worms initially so that they could have eaten all of our suitable fruit and vegetable scraps right away. I was cheap and only bought 500. But that's okay--they will be fruitful and multiply.
I do love opening my bin and checking on my worms, even though I know it's bad to disturb them.
