setting up a worm farm - part two

so last weekend we bought our two containers and Jim drilled holes at the bottom, the sides and the lid of one of the containers. 

we also found a spot for the worm farm in our backyard where there is no direct sunlight and the containers would be raised from the ground. 

i shredded some newspapers and scattered them at the bottom of the container (the one with holes). then a layer of veggie scraps are scattered over the newspapers. i sprayed the bedding with some water so that the newspaper is moist. the last layer of bedding to prepare before i add the worm would be some dirt but i don't wanna use those from the garden so we set off to bunnings to get me a box of worm and also a bag of compost/potting mix/whatever they recommend. 

we got our box of worms and asked the store's horticulturalist what type of soil/dirt i should get to add to my worm farm. he said i don't need anything. all i need is about 10cm of compost material and a box of worm. he suggested that i accumulate enough veggie scraps/compost material first before buying the worms or they'll just die if I put them in my current worm farm. i was wondering to myself, isn't 10cm of compost/veggie scraps too much food for the worms? 

so off we went, with no worms. 

i did more research and the current bedding i've prepared seems to be fine but most worm farm experts do recommend that i wait 1-2 weeks once the bedding is ready before introducing the worms to it. 

now, patience is not one of my strongest virtue and i really want to get this worm farm up and running already. yesterday i checked on my worm farm with no worms and found lots of fruit flies. i'm not sure if this is expected? 

what i'm planning to do now is to add another layer of shredded newspaper and another layer of veggie scraps i've accumulated throughout the week. one of the worm farming gurus suggested that i freeze and thaw the veggie scraps before adding them to the worm farm as they would be easier to break down. 

to get my box of worm this time, i'm going to the local nursery instead. now the question is, do i wait another week or shall i go ahead and get them worms this weekend??  surely, worm farming is not rocket science?!?
