Is it best to feed the worms along side fluffs,and put some trout fillet in now and again? It's just taken a fluff without hesitating.
You'll find that even reputable shops that sell garters know bugger all about caring for them. I went into a shop the other day and was told that they didn't keep garters because they are considered a advanced snake due to their fish diet, and feeding fish put new keepers off keeping them. And this is a shop run by people who claim to have been keeping reptiles themselves for decades. Other shops have told me that garters eat crickets.

As Steve said, a varied diet is good. It sounds like you're on the right lines now.
