Is there much of a smell involved? I've been wanting to do this but don't want my neighbors to complain.
No smell at all - or my wife would've already banned it to the outdoors.
They're in the basement.

done them several times.... try and collect any water from them kristian... "worm tea" is perfect for watering plants with.... free worms and free compost i got a pretty large scale african night crawler project now... but we will be doing more of both canadian and red wigglers...
My peat controls moisture very well. I do have a receptacle underneath, but nothing so far. The soil is moist but doesn't drip.
Cool that you farm worms as well. When you say "large scale" - what volume?

I have to leave the top off the bin and keep a light over the bin or they all crawl out.Been feeding them for about 2 months now not sure if they are breeding or not,I guess I should check more carefully.
Sounds great
My worms tend to leave the substrate when they're hungry. Make sure to provide enough food. It takes weeks for veggie scraps to decompose to a platable stage. Until then, it's not available for the worms. I kept mine "under ground" by initially feeding with dried cow manure. You will notice juveniles easily - shorter and thinner than a pin, they crawl around everywhere.
