contact the company on the top of that 4 dollar can of worms. They are usually looking for someone to grow worms for them. They will set you up and pay you for worms, plus you will have the pick of the litter for yourself.

You must be able to obtain worms first. Go out at night after a soaking rain and look for night crawlers around lawns and gardens. Baseball fields make a good spot to look. If there are puddles in the asphalt parking lot, worms may be in there. use a credit card or something similar to scoop them up.
An old bathtub or large container buried in the ground and filled with worm bedding will keep them for as long as you want.

If you have your own yard, simply create a dug up area. Add coffee grounds, or flour, or corn meal. Mix into the earth. Add peat moss and moisture. Add the coffee grounds or flours daily for a few weeks, then as needed. Cover with a small tarp or hunk of carpet. Do this for a few weeks and you will have all the worms you can use (and free!!).
If no yard, worms can be raised in a large rubbermaid type container on damp shredded newspaper (no colored or glossy pages). Get your worms. Add vent holes at the top of the container. Add feed as needed for the worms to consume in a day or so. Moisten the paper with a spray bottle. Watch for escapes (generally a deep container will hold the worms.
The 2nd method starts producing worms in about 4 to 6 weeks. I have used both methods and have settled on the first as what I use for my fishing needs.
Good luck!

All you need is a some kind of container like metal or plastic, then soil, worms, and stuff that decomposes like egg shells, banana pells, fruit peels,,, etc the worm shouldnt take long to start reproducing. You can find more on what they need in google or something.
