Does anyone here farm worms for bait.

[Giuga10]

Hi,
I recently started farming worms and have loved it due to its extremely simple setup and maintenance and also because I get nice juicy worms without spending a dime.
If anyone has questions or anything other feel free to post one in the comments section.

Giuga10,

How are you getting your worms? from a "Compost Bin"? If not, How are you farming your own worms?
I'd be VERY interested to know the steps involved!

Thanks,

Wait? What happens if you water the lawn with Mustard Seed? Is this a joke? or does something actually happen?

No, the way they are setting it up will drastically decrease worm reproduction because there is no real bedding where they can lay eggs.

The way I get my worms is by going out at about 10Pm with a dim flashlight and picking them, and the odd time Ill buy a pack at a fishing store.

If you want me to give you a full detailed explanation on how I do it just let me know

Good luck on the water,

I will be posting a full detailed explanation on how to do it all in a bit (in the comments section on this thread... stay tuned )

And don't worry you don't need a lawn that you can get worms from to farm worms.

Doing that causes the worms to get discomforted and dig to the top of the soil for picking.

But if you're looking to farm worms get them naturally. You don't want to mess with there behavior and then use them for farming but the mustard seed trick is good for getting worms for a trip coming up.

I will be posting a full detailed explanation soon.... stay tuned
