4 Responses to whats the easiest way to make a worm farm so i don’t have to spend 4 dollars on a dozen worms to go fishing?

1. 10 gallon fish tank. fill it up with a 50/50 dirt and manure mix. keep it somewhere out of the summer heat so the worms don’t die. cover the top with leaves and occasionally leave them some stale bread or fruit skins.

2. hey there, i would use pretty much anything to store them in like anld fish tank or an old freezer…..what i used awhile back is an old deep freezer but a fish tank will work fine go to a lawn care store and gt you a bag of cow manure and mix it in with some dirt. fill up your tank with the mixture of manure and dirt. dont fill it all the way up just bout 3/4 of the way. take a water hose and dampen ((( just dampin))) the dirt. go get you a couple cans of worms and drop them in. keep the tank covered. dont keep the tank in direct sunlight. if the worms or the dirt get too hot the worms will die. after supper or breakfast and if you have any lef overs like an apple core bannana peels ol coffee ground ((coffee grounds work great))) addall that to the dirt and mix it up in there. the worms will eat on those. give is a few weeks and next thing you know you will be having new worms. man i hope this helps you out a bit good luckgood fishin be safe and remember to share the experience

3. justintodd1979 has everything down and is perfect if you live where the ground freezes during winter (I don’t) but the most important thing is that there is a way to allow the water out a drain I don’t use any container I have an area that is shaded in the back yard and the dirt is always having lots coffee grounds and egg shells added to it it has sand earthen soil, loamy soil and peat moss all mixed together about three feet deep, I prepared the dirt for just this raising night crawlers. I can dig out two dozen any time I want any where in the yard now even where the sun hits it they are great for the ground and plants. They just don’t do too much water very well. What happens is they tend to come out of the ground if it’s too saturated and then the birds feed on them.

4. first you need to buy the dozen worms and put then in soil. put them in the biggest container you can find. then mix in some left over vegtables, grass clippings, ect. make sure the soil stays damp but not wet. soon the worms should lay eggs and you’ll end up with a lot of bait.
