We got our worms for free from a friend. Once they get going, you tend to have enough to give a start to someone --- you might ask your friends with worm boxes if anyone has a start for you. (Ours haven't gotten that numerous yet, unfortunately.)
You will need to keep it in a place above 50 degrees F, but in the summer that can be outside in the shade. (Not in the sun!)
