Pete Springate's Guns 269 Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Any of you guys have experience of breeding/keeping worms? I’m considering it with a view to producing a modest amount to supplement regular sessions with a particular eye on using them more next winter. Had a look online but I’m a little confused with the choice and size of different models. Don’t mind spending a few quid to get a sustainable system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
framey 796 Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 My brother in law made one out of a tarpaulin years ago filled it with dirt and worms and used it for years assumed it worked because it was always moist Carpmaster and Pete Springate's Guns 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I looked into this a few years ago mate. We do actually have one that we use solely for composting (she wont let me nick the worms our of it lol). Be warned, they're pretty disgusting to work with. Harvesting the worms would be an awful job🤢 I chose not to pursue the idea after checking inside ours as the worms got established. It's rank in there.

Yes, I’m having some doubts myself having watched a few YouTube clips! Plus, I’d be a bit squeamish about chopping up my ‘pet’ worms! yonny and Carpmaster 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

emmcee 1,569 Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Just start a composting area. You'll have red worms and denroabaena worms in no time. You won't get so many if any at all of the earth worm (lobworm). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
