If you know anybody that works at a water treatment plant the stone beds are full of dendrobeanas, three on a size ten for tench.

Get some Tiger Worms and feed them on vegetable scraps, etc.They will breed when they are settled.

Find a well rotted forgotten manure heap and dig for red worms...they are lively on the hook and have a musky odour that fish can't resist...be handy if you can have one bin of lobs and one bin of reds

I actually know where a farmer dumps all his cow waste,straw bedding and shite and I'm saying I have to give it a dig and see what's about

I used to wait for a raining night and just walk around the quiet streets...lob worm everywhere coming out the pavement edging  into the pavements , fill a bucket in no time

And there was I thinking I'm the only weirdo interested in worms lol....I feel much better about myself now

You can throw a bucket of soapy water over the lawn and collect deoxygenated worms, but you won't beat a proper layered wormery with cardboard and hesian.

As kanny says little red worms you want old manure bigger worms go for grass leaves and food scraps in a compost heap or put a old piece of carpet down jig you will get a few under it in time if not go down your local allotment and turn there compost heap over you will get what you need there
