I started out with just half a pound, in my case I got more bedding than worms. It's a con game with a lot of worm sellers, so be careful.
It doesn't take long for your herd to build, just don't overfeed in the first few months, much better to be on the light side.
Leachate is a bad thing in my opinion, much too wet, which can cause problems. Use a good amount of shredded newspapers will keep the wet under control and prevent any fruit flies getting at the food.
