Wolfdog91 7,265 Posted Monday at 16:55 Report Share Posted Monday at 16:55 Anyone happen to farm/grow worms / other lil invertebrates? Had to re start my red worm farm/ compost bin because it got flooded a year back but seems like the lil guys are finally back to it They help make some great compost too. Considering trying to do black soldiers flys when I gets warmer too because they can eat meat scraps apparently 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sells them at his fishing tackle shop evidently. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WataWalloper 436 Posted Monday at 19:47 Report Share Posted Monday at 19:47 The little brandling worms we get over here in compost bins are like fish crack haha I don’t go fishing anywhere without a decent tub full, even if it’s just to chop em up an use em as ground bait Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Borr 6,180 Posted Tuesday at 10:08 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 10:08 As a kid we had a wormery for brandlings , my Oldman brought a stillage back from work (square metal basket about 4'² ) it's was then layed foot of horse manure (well rotted) hessian sacks and newspaper and repeat. Only had to lift a sack and they'd be loads of worms to put in a bait box with a bit of peat . 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Due to me using compost an pot ash in the flower beds. A burn all shit in an old oil drum an all the shit an shavings out of my bird flights. Then chuck it on the garden. Crazy how many worms are in there big fuckers too. A might get a few out for chub in next couple of weeks. A chap I know has had a few pike on big lob worm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
