Any night crawler / red wriggler farmers on the ODT?

That's a bit odd. They normally don't travel much and go straight in the ground to pupate. I have three in the backyard at the house (countless ones around the pond at the cabin) and I don't think I've ever found one more than 10' from a tree.
I guess maybe they didn't reach a size big enough to pupate and had stripped the tree clean and were looking for food?

These two were planted w/in a feet feet of daddy's shop. And yes, this happened after the leaves were eaten...

ITS HOT. My worms have gone waaaaaay underground. I may have to use a large plastic hamper and keep them under my house in the crawl space.

I have a wiggler bed, they get watered daily, all our veggie scraps, an occasional bad bagel, and it has a bird feeder over it so they get a constant shower of seeds dropped, bird poo and other droppings. I fill a container to go fishing and put back whats left.

Corn meal and leaves. Its what I used to do. Thick layer of leaves and occasionally pour some corn meal under the leaves.

I have now let my son fish with my worms raised on my farm. They work great. He caught around six fish in about 10 minutes.

Break them up and chum with them and the fish will stay around for awhile.

Can you tell us how you come about getting them started... thanks

Dig up your septic tank lid then rebury it.
Then re dig it up about a week later.

I don't know if it would ever be worth drive, but we constantly dump rat bedding/snake bedding at the edge of our creek. We've got anaconda sized worms. They're always there, too; rain or shine. Probably about 5-10 per # of dirt.

Dunkin donuts used to give away used grounds by the 20# or so sacks

I hate to admit I been in one, but starbucks does this. And niely enough they just have them sitting out. Walk in, pick up, walk out.

I've heard that rabbit poop is great for raising worms.
