I know this is abit off track, but i want to set up a worm farm for when i go fishing its not costing me 8 bucks for afew tiny worms at the local servo. My uncle has given me a worm factory box thing. I just want to know if anyone has set a worm farm up. What's the best way to do it. Is it just chuck in some dirt and a few veg scaps or is there a bit more to it.

Don't chuck in dirt! Most garden waste, clippings cuttings etc can go into it, a general rule is if it ever was alive (grew) worms will deal with it. Stay away from meats, and onions. They will eat dog dumps and dog fur, human hair and most kitchen waste. Add the stuff to the top of the farm. If your type is the rectangular box, with the tap at the bottom, make sure you drain it regularly and I would put some bricks and straw in the bottom, in order for the worms to get out of the fluids, otherwise they will drown. I've added all of what I have said, and also put horse manure in, when I pull out the zucchini plants, they go in, any cuttings are fine. Dont put in clumps of lawn cuttings, break them up or sprinkle them on over a period of time, the worms like to move freely between the food. If you think it is too hot, and you have tiger worms, you can loose the bottom tray and place the worm farm on the ground. the worms will move into the soil to keep cool, but they will move to the top to feed. PM me if you want to know more.
