Just wait for it to rain then once it is dark go on the grass with a torch

you will get the biggest worms you have ever seen mate

Forget rain,you can actually get worms out of the ground with electricity if you know how,as many as you need

[Guest Leveller]

No advice I'm afraid but I get all the brandlings I want from our dungheap they just seem to find their way in I never introduced any.

for lobs you will struggle making an wormery. best method: go out in the drizzle with torch, pull them up. store then in a fridge in wet newspaper. last ages. i have used other methods, but if you dont hand pick them they dont seem, to last long .

this old man told me to use fairy liquid when its dark he said " take the top of the grass off so it is just soil and then put a bit of fairy liquid on the soil then abit of water then wait abit and the the worms will come like flies to shit " then he preceded to tell me my maggots wernt up to much

" then he preceded to tell me my maggots wernt up to much"

haha

the old mans approach does work but dos'nt produce much!

i've got a old wooden compost heap and i introduced a few worms into there and now they've bred like crazy

When i lived in Cardiff a great place to get worms after heavy rain was from the soil between the cracks in the pavement, or close to the wall or at the base of urban trees. They were easy to see in the orange street lamps. Would suggest you wear garden gloves though dog mess a potential hazard.

I was once asked by a Policeman what i was doing crouched next to a primary school wall at 11pm in a waterproof cammo jacket. Thankfully one of the policemen was a barbel angler and impressed with my worm collection!

This may sound like a joke but i promise you its not. I'll be out one the pavements one night this week getting some worms for salmon fishing.

I like to keep em in damp newspaper with a small aoumt of moss in a cool place. Works for me.

Before the novelty of spending £150 a season to fish a strech of the Fowey for Salmon and Sea Trout wore off, i used to lamp for my worms as mentioned above. I accidently discovered that " fairy-up liquid" produced more worms than i knew what to do with, i was good at getting lobs but not so hot at getting the fish!!!!

Fairy liquid. Yes, it works, but its bad for two reasons.

 

#1, it kills the grass and will take ages to regrow.

 

#2 the worms cannot be stored for long as they will eventually die having come in contact with it. Even if you try to wash them in clean water this will not help.

 

 

Best method is the torch. JD

You can actually get 2000 volt worming machines stateside,professional machines for bait-collectors,but the yanks always have to be bigger and better than us,thats cool.Get a telephone magneto,one of the old style crankers,attach four metal rods,sink them into pre-soaked ground,and crank them up
