Hi
sorry about the problems you have been experiencing.
A wormery does take time to get going as it needs to create a mini eco system where the worms feel happy to breed and eat.
Although you have had the wormery since june it has only been functioning properly for the last 4 - 8 weeks, as it take a month for the bacteria - and micro-organisms to populate the wormery, and the food to start composting down.
It also takes around 3 months for the worm population to start growing properly.
Bear with it, it should start getting better soon
Regards
Ronnie
