My worms were trying to escape from the bottom which is not a good sign. I thought they had plenty of chew over but they are unhappy. I took out the bottom layer which looks like very rich compost and put it on the courgette and an over wintering tomato (we have a south facing conservatory). I carefully put some new material on the bottom and returned the undigested 'stuff' to the top - sweet corn cobs and apples. But, they still tried to escape. Of course, escape means drowning because the bottom bucket has worm 'juice'.
I have now taken out everything again, put some soil, cardboard and fiborous material on the bottom, then a few of the things they really like plus more cardboard. I took out the soggy paper which didn't have any worms munching on it. Now I hope they will stay put and be happy.
Two friends have said that all their worms died so I feel lucky that I might have caught them in time.
