    This is neat to see a thing on this.My brother raises worms like this for a small business. Maybe we can get more ideas….we have had them escape before!!! (ALL over the carpet downstairs….ugh!:) We are getting better at it though. (At least I think we are…:)

    My husband LOVES to fish and it gets expensive buying worms $3.50 for 2 dozen or sometimes they are $3 for a dozen depending on where he goes. I would feel better about buying worms in bulk using them to make compost for my container garden and replenishing them as they get used to provide fish for the family! Thank you so much for this idea!

    This video is precious!

    Has anyone tried worm composting? I read on another site that 1 pound of red worms would be 600-1000 worms. Seems like a tremendous amount of worms for this size container. Would love to hear more comments because this is something I want to try!

      I ordered woms cacoons (eggs essentially) with a free online credit a few months ago and am trying this currently. Right now my worms fit in a small pyrex container (the kids can lift the lid and peek at the worms and also see them through the glass at times). We also visited a worm “farm” after seeing one on television. The “farmer” told us that his worms stay in open containers only if a light is left on for them all the time. He used a dark-activated night light. Worms dislike the light and will stay in their containers to avoid it. He also suggested wood-only containers because he said he’d had numerous customers who tried to raise them in plastic tubs and the worms died (possibly from the chemicals in plastic?)
