Worms will self-regulate, so don’t ever worry about ending up with “too many”.

When is enough for a mini Vermibag? How will I know when enough is enough? My wife and I live in an apartment and space is limited for too many worm homes. We have just secured land for an outdoor garden, which in a close proximity to our apartment. We plan on having a compost bin there. Would it be prudent to transfer a portion of the red wrigglers to the out dooor compost bin?

Hopefully you put some form of false bottom down there as well to help keep things a bit more contained for the first stretch (until first harvest). As for how long it might take a population of worms to double, be sure to check out this blog post: https://www.redwormcomposting.com/general-questions/will-a-red-worm-population-double-in-3-months/
I think starting with just a pound was a great idea – should help to stimulate reproduction (since a Vermi-Bag can definitely support more than a pound).

My vermiBag had been set up for about 8 to 10 days using living material and cardboard. Upon receiving the worms, I immediately placed the worms in the Vermibag and let the worms adjust to there new environment for two days before feeding them. They seem to have adjusted very well. My question is this, how long will it take one pound of worms to multiply to double their numbers?

If the amount of liquid surpasses the habitat material’s ability to hold it (and not enough evaporates), it will just start dripping/draining out of the bottom. Good idea to keep a bucket or bin down below just in case.
