    I thought I was doing something when I bought the stuff to root some catalpa worms tree shoots.
    The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along

    You're laughing but let me tell you about The Great Catalpa Caper. My wife's son went to Lambuth in Jackson, TN. He played football all 4 years there so we drove up for the home games when we could. On I-55 around Grenada was a drainage ditch perpendicular to the Interstate. It was full of young Catalpa trees. On one of the trips back I stopped, ran down in the ditch, ripped a couple dozen trees out of the sandy spots, ran back to the truck and wrapped the roots in wet newspaper, then continued home. After planting and getting them up 10-12ft I allowing the worms to start stripping the leaves. I would get a few crops of worm every year that I let raise in the ground thinking the crops would get more plentiful. Well no, they got less and less till none for a few years. I don't know how to grow worms but had beautiful trees till I finally cut them down.
