Jim,
I started a couple of weeks ago, got my first deep bin going and so far, so good. They're eating lots! I have them sitting on a shady concrete porch of an out building and I'm going by trial and error. So far it looks like an easy thing, I learned real fast they like their moisture. They clean up fruit and coffee grounds in no time. The fellow I bought them from assures me they'll do fine in all kinds of FL weather if I keep them well fed, damp and happy. Happy worms! These are red wrigglers and they do sell them statewide, year-round for fishing. We'll see.
