Need help with worm & composing

i need a web-site , to ask about composing with worms , the do and don’ts , i have been doing it for 2 years , but am i doing it right , thank you all for your help , vern

I buy my worms from Uncle Jim’s Worm Farm and he has a bunch of good info on there.

i get mine from him to , but you can’t ask ? , wish you could , i send them e-mails they do get bake to me ,
but need more info

His FAQ section and Organic Farmer section of his website are pretty informative.

Is there something specific you want to know?

Thank you this is my first indoor grow first time in 20 + years and it’s totally different for me. So should I put the potting soil and the compost in the container with the gras clippings

i let mine stay in compose bin , and brake down for a year , then do a test to see what in the soil , all kinds , like rapid test kit , e-z to use - then mix pelite about 30% with soil , and start growing
