Then
layers of bedding (shredded newspaper),


Just to say this is an important bit, and worth taking note of. There's
nothing like a sheet of newspaper (or handful of shreddings) to prevent a
worm bin getting all full of flies in the summer.

I just stick a single sheet on top every week or so and damp it. Avoid
great lumps of it though, or your worm compost will take longer and end up
looking a bit grey.
