I just added them to the mixed bed! After adding them, I put some of my kitchen waste, and then some of the shredded browns. The worms like most kitchen waste EXCEPT for: citrus, oils, onions, animal manures, dairy, meats... so you should steer clear from those. As you can see, the bedding is pretty moist - the moisture level is another important factor in a successful bin. The ideal worm bedding should be moist, well-aerated, and have a neutral pH level. Also, it should be able to retain moisture without becoming too wet or compacted.
