yard worms

When you have an indoor bin and no new worms except the ones hatched in your habitat is it necessary to bring in outside worms to keep a healthy population? I know you need to do that with most other animals so inbreeding doesn't become a problem.

Answer from BigTex Worms:
Yard worms are just that yard worms. They are not suited for a worm bin.
I tried it myself a few years ago adding some yard worms to one of my outdoor bins and within 24 hours they were gone. I dont know if they died or just left.
So I would not waste my time doing it again.
