Wow you have been busy! I wish I had the motivation to transplant clones today
I'd love to have a compost heap again. I used to, but never added worms, because I figured they would come to me, but kick starting with some worms is a great idea!
Sorry to hear about your computer; I pulled some info off the Web. Red worms is what you want. If you can't find them locally there are pots of places that will ship 'em. Just google "red compost worms"
I'll paste part of this page, but there's tons more great info @ this link

Composting with worms
It's simple. The worms are kept in a bin with shredded paper or other biodegradable bedding. You feed them food waste. They digest the waste and bedding then excrete nutrient-rich castings. After a few months, the castings combined with the well-decomposed bedding, become vermicompost -- one of the richest soil improvements around. It will do wonders for plants, flowers, fruit trees and garden vegetables. And, anglers will appreciate having a steady supply of worms on hand. If this bin sounds like too much work, click here and try building a
worm castle in a jar. You can also learn more about how a worm digests this food waste.
To start vermicomposting, you'll need four things:
- a bin for your worms
- a supply of biodegradable bedding
- a supply of food waste
- and worms, of course.
