As the nights draw in I find myself dreaming of perch and in need of fresh worms. I can always make the tackle shop so need a ready supply at home. Any wormery recommdations? Something thatay supply about 200g or thereabouts of dendros or tigers a week (when established).

I think they’ll be able to help.

If you search wormery on YouTube there are lots of videos showing how to make them.

If you have a garden then a compost heap is the answer,.
I have two that are both made by screwing four pallets together .
One is being filled and one maturing.
The maturing one has a bit of old carpet on top.
Other thing is buy a bag of compost (should be cheap at the moment) stab a few holes in it and leave in a corner somewhere.
This winter you should find a few lobs under the bag and next year the bag contents should have red worms in it.

Hi,
I found by accident that worms like Bananas. I use a Council black compost bin and put all waste matter including plenty of paper and card. We seem to eat plenty of Bananas and the skins are loved by Dendros. They accumulate around the skins. Never tried feeding them a whole Banana? Try looking up on Youtube for they are many suggestions on farming worms.

Reckon I’ve comfortably got a grayling season’s worth of redworms in a couple of rubbermaid compost boxes in my utility room. Ransacked a friend’s compost heap to get it kick started. Take out a sensible number and put them in one of those Aldi veg bags with dampened moss then place that in a bait pouch. Nice scoured worms ready to go 48hrs later

I cover the veggie patch with 4" deep shredded garden refuse, Mrs AA think's it's 'mulching'. Loada wormies under that.

Old cast iron bath tubs and horse muck. I have been using mine for over 20 years and as we have a lot of horses I have plenty of muck. Brandlings have accounted for some of my best perch and I often use a bucket of manure as groundbait. I always keep my worms in sphagnum moss in the cellar where they will keep in good condition. For lobworms I gather them as I need them and again store them in sphagnum, making sure any damaged worms are put aside,

Thanks Mark, think my good lady might take exception to a bath tub full of shi*e in the garden, sadly. One day maybe.
I'm afraid I've lost your email, found about 10,000 roach and some pike whilst out walking at work. All sheltering from the flood waters. Drop me a pm and I'll give you the details if you like. Unfortunately I'm working tomorrow and all next week.
