I use the 2 pound Margerine tubs for a half pound.. I change the water out dialy.. using the Rject water from my RO.. then I stick it in my fridge. The tub is about 3/4 full of water.. over the top of the worms.. I have good success with this.
I do almost exactly the same thing, except I use Cool Whip containers with a hole in the cover - they stack nicely too, so they don't take up too much room. Bought a worm keeper but went back to the plastic bowls. I was having trouble with my worms climbing to the top in them, but once I started using more water, and keeping water in the fridge so it was very cold, they stopped climbing. Thank God! It's disgusting to to open the worm container and have them falling all over the counter top.
Just don't put too many in your container Doug, they die if they are too thick in the bottom. I'd use plastic shoe boxes if I had a dedicated fridge.
