Pick Your Own Red Wigglers

[shipahoy41]

Made another one. This is what I am using now. It has a locking lid. I have folded newspaper on top of the bedding. I will take and dampen the newspaper about every three days. That is all the moisture needed. Keep the newspaper just damp not "WET!"

My bedding consists of shredded newspaper, manure, peat moss, and garden miracle grow soil.

Feed them cornmeal. My container does not have bottom drain holes in it at all so the worms do not crawl out the bottom. . I keep the bedding mixture at about 8 inches because it is easier to stir or to let air circulate. I have about 20 1/2 vent holes in the top. There is screen wire (very fine) siliconed on the underside to keep the worms inside the container. They are kept in the garage where it will not get too hot or too cold.

Feed them cornmeal and tea bags. You should be good to go and have worms when you want to go fish.
