Put a cardboard disk* into the top basket and use a spray to moisten it.

Put in a layer of bio soil to a depth of between 3 and 4 cm as bedding.
Add the colony of worms (you can use the order form in your kit to order Eisenia Foetida worms).
Add a 2 cm layer of vegetable waste (see the Eisenia Foetida worm menu below).
