I started a small boot box worm bin a while back and it is not doing too bad. All of the worms were caught outside so they are all native ones and I found cocoons today so the population should be exploding here shortly. I guess it is a good thing I have 2 larger bins set up and ready for the next stage of raising the worms.

What I did:
One clear plastic boot box, 1/8 inch holes in the bottom set inside another box for any drainage. Lid has 3 large holes drilled in it covered with cloth to keep out other bugs. Bedding is newspaper and cardboard shredded with a handful of sawdust mixed in. Food is pureed carrots, lettuce and broccoli fed once to twice a week depending on how fast they eat it. Gonna go and get a bunchiof hopefully free scraps today or tomorrow so I have a lot of it when the cocoons hatch and the population starts to explode on me.

Granted they are small worms but if this keeps up I should have a lot of bait for pan fish by summer and it all cost me about $5 to set the whole thing up. Can't beat free fishing bait. Will post a pic as soon as I find my camera.
