“The bin needs to be kept out of direct sunlight to keep the worms from getting too hot (death) and they're not as active (eating) in the light. There must always be a layer of moist newsprint on top of the pile of refuse within the bin, to keep the worms from drying out (death) plus they don't like to eat whatever is on top of the pile. So, wet paper on top keeps them occupied with the banana peels below. If they're not eating then the bin will begin to smell. Because of the need to add moist newsprint to the piece it might make sense if it is near the bathroom, but is not a requirement. Food scraps (banana peels) can be added to the bin, but once there is a thin layer of peels then a layer of moist newsprint needs to be added before more bananas can be put on top. So, it's kinda like a newsprint banana lasagna inside.”
