Your right...I just read all of that. The method I use is easy and I have lots of worms year around. I have so many that I always sell some to the bait shops.

They are a heck of a lot easier to raise than that for sure. G-# has the right idea, lots of cultures and let them do their thing. Dried off kale, lettuce, cabbage and other leafy greens don't last a day with the worms and don't make a culture wet. Keep it simple and you will have thousands of them and won't know what to do with all of them.

Nothing could be easier than raising meal worms. I always got a bucketfull and do basically nothing. I keep them in a 5 gallon bucket add some ground corn they say that bran meal is better and it may be but I always got more than I can use. I feed them left over corn meal or flower when we bread some meat or fish to fry. Maybe throw in some cereal thats in the bottom of the box, and give them something once in a while that has some moisture too it like a potatoe or fruit.

Just last week I gave a bunch to some guys that wanted to go ice fishing and used some myself. They do a cycle and if you don't want the mature worms to turn to black bugs put them in the refrigerator. I just keep mine in the shop it gets cold in there but never below 40 degrees in the winter. If you think about it how hard can it be they grow in spilled grain piles.
