Worm Box Questions

[azslabber]

BTW,these worms are 8 inches long,fat and very active.Which to me means wiggley,lol.Not like the Canadians that are just a blob of meat on a hook.I think the best cat fish bait they will be also.

Sounds good to me, I found your earlier link and have already sent them a list of questions. I want to start small and maybe do 3 different ones, red wigglers, Euros and Africans. All of them will have their fishing applications and would be fun to see how the 3 differ in growth, needs and how fast they multiply.

Just got the worms.Right on time.They were all alive and started running around right away.Very lively.Followed the directions on the paper in the box,about when they first get here,and,so far,all is well.They are more lively then the worms that I get at the bait store right before I go fishing.So,after being in a mail truck for days,dry,then a squirt of water to bring them right back to life,is a good sign to me.I can see lots of bluegills and catfish in my near future.Great idea.Thanks to all that helped out,in any way.

I hope.

Well i contacted them and their reply wasn't that helpful to be honest. Seemed like they were simply in a hurry to get a generic answer out. Oh well, good thing there is a ton of information on the net to learn how to raise them. Not sure who I will buy from yet but gotta get everything set up first anyway.

That bedding looks kinda on the dry side but it could just be the picture.

I guess that it depends on what you are asking them.They answered all of my questions and then some.Here is a forum that I used to them.Seems like the answers are a bit more informative.

That dry stuff was from the bag that they sent the worms in,when I dumped them in there,lol.It's nice and moist now.

That is so true. Let your setup just sit for a few days. Introduce your damp newspaper and then let the soil absorb moisture. It needs to be moist so the worms can slide easily and reproduce. NEVER EVER pour water on your soil. You are asking for trouble. Just let the damp newspapers work. Be sure you have air vent holes (tubing) throughut the soil. In about four more days introduce your red wigglers to their new ecosystem. (home) Pour some fine yellow cornmeal on the top. Cover and let stand.
