Here is something I never thought I would ask about. Someone gave me an A-Z type of book about rural living for Christmas and they had a short section about small-scale worm farms. It was geared towards what great soil amendments worm casings made for flowers and gardens. Well my wife saw the section and commented that raising some worms would be great for her new passion of fishing now that we have a lake at the house. She doesn't like to drive the 10 miles to the nearest place that carries any bait. The funny thing is she will leave the room if there is a snake on TV, but worms seem to be OK.
The article and some Internet searches make it seem like once you set up the system them little critters are pretty self-sustaining. Dump some non-meat kitchen scrapes in each week and those little guys will make you the best organic fertilizer you can get. Also seems that if you keep them happy they will multiply in such a way the wife can go catch dinner anytime the urge hits her.
So, has anyone ever tried to raise worms?
