Both of those amounts sound like too much. Fill your jars with with substrate a half to 3/4 of an inch remaining and put the dry verm on top of that until its full.

Follow the tek I linked....make enough for 5 more jars...

You can use tap water, well water, rain water, pond water, etc.

Just not distilled water.

Make enough mix for 5 jars, and throw the extra away.

Don't your jars have lids? Or are you using glasses?

Yes, foil will work.

what the pf tek videos. we are npt going to baby you through everything.

If your using drinking glassesinstead of wide mouth jars yes u can use foil as your lid. use a double layer, tape it to the sides of you rjar. Carefully pierce the 4 holes in the foil then tape over the holes with micropore.

Pay attention to your final moisture content.
A rule of thumb I like to tell people is :
Grab a handful & squeeze it. It should form a lump, but when squeezed, no water should drip.
