Hi Greg
leave them alone for a couple of weeks, all the coir bedding will be eaten, so they have lots of food.

leave the food in the caddy it will start to soften and breakdown, perfect for your wormery.

Start adding small amounts (like 4-8 ozs) into each corner every few days, when you are back to corner 1 - leave until the food is starting to go.

your worms will take a while to reproduce, and the wormery needs the correct balance of microorganisms etc. everything will start to work together.

after a month you can start to add handfuls every few days, and you will notice it will compost quickly. eventually you will be able to add the caddy contents in one go.

Regards

Ronnie
