I should be able to trade you some later in the year Zak.   In the meantime, start off a new bin with horse muck and lime ONLY.  You might be surprised at how many move IN.   Fresh horse muck is fine if you know that the horse hasn't been wormed recently.

On the ground is fine - on top of polyprop sacks if moles are a problem.  Simply cover to keep the birds off.

If you do want to buy, the there are any number of internet places, Wiggly Wigglers, etc

my worms have always just turned up of their own accord so have never had to think of where to source them from - is it nice and squelchy and damp in the bin with a good mix of materials? - I find they like lurking in amongst sheets of damp newspaper from the guinea pig hutch.
Gardening organically on chalky, stony soil.

You could try an angling shop zak, and seed it yourself :)
