Question by texusspitfire: can a kiddie pool be used to start a small worm farm?
I live in an area where you have to drive 22 miles in all directions to buy worms for fishing. So I decided to meet the demanding need of our small community by supplying them with fishing worms and make a little extra cash on the side. I have done the research and know the basics. But I have two kiddie pools and was wondering if one of them could be used for their home.

  2. Sure, IF the weather permits OR you put it indoors.

    Might I suggest “african red wigglers” as a good worm in most places.

    You WILL find however that the packaging costs quite a bit in small quantities.
    You might try buying some small drink cups and lids from a local fast food place as a cheaper alternative.

  3. Yes of course you can use that, as long as they are durable enough to handle on what you will put inside, e.g. soil.
