Worms in the cellar

[chefchris401]

When I use to do a lot of freshwater fishing we would collect worms in my grandmothers yard and put them in a tin can and soak some paper towels in anise and the worms would absorb the scent and out fish regular worms 10 to 1.

If you are looking for garden worms, skip the nightcrawlers as they are too big and spend most of their time too deep to be truly benefit a garden. Oh, they will help with aeration, but they are so deep and they come to the surface when it rains.
To collect native garden worms and/or "red wigglers", start a small compost pile with green vegetation waste. These little buggers will find your pile in no time, and will feed and breed like crazy.

I used to find tens to hundreds when I tossed watermelon rinds (chopped) on top of my compost pile.
The also LOVE soggy, moldy old bread.

Heck, even turning over a rock or two should provide some as well!

nope not lookin for garden worms as i have plenty of that species

and the difference between red wigglers and the europeans
is they can live in soil where as red wigglers cannot.

some of the BED run .........will be added to the raised bed
and the breeders will be allowed to keep breeding

they are mainly for fertilizer production making castings....
