Few months ago it came to me that buying worms every time I wanted to go fishing was getting too expensive, at $2.50 for a cup of 50 worms was out of reason.
So I started to read up on raising my own worms. First I had to find out where I could put them. It wasn't hard to see that they were going to be easy to raise. Almost any container would do for the worms, as long as it had good drainage.
I looked up through the internet on how to buy, raise and build a bin for the worms. The building of the bin was a easy job for me. Since I had a lot of building experience.
I built my first worm bin out of a sheet of 1/2 inch plywood 4'x8'. It was ample enough to build a bin to hold about 2000 worms.
My next step was to locate a place that sold red worms. It wasn't hard to find, actually there are about a hundred different places where you can purchase worms. All you have to do is get into a search engine in the internet and ask for red worms and there you are all kinds of places to look for your worms.
There are worm farms all over the country, I even found one in Canada and one in Australia. Those two would be out of the question to buy from. It would take too long for the worms to get to you.
I found the best prices in a worm farm in NJ. They had the all around best prices in any kind of worm you wanted.
Here is a practical guide to raising red worms.
VERMI is the latin word for worms and VERMICULTURE is the process of using red worms and microorganisms to convert organic waste into black, earth-smelling enriched humus. VERMICOMPOST contains worm castings, some partially decomposed organic material, worm cocoons, worms and other organisms.
WORM CASTINGS are natural by products of red worms, are rich in organic matter and are nature's finest source of plant food and soil conditioners.
The best kind of worm to use for vermicomposting is the red worm. RED WORMS (Eisemia foetida) scientific name for a red worm. They are sometimes called tiger worms, branding worms, red wigglers or manure worms. Most mail order worms are mostly the tiger worm. Which are identified by the alternate light and dark coloring of the segments, giving a striped appearence like a tiger tail. Other species of the red worm are a deep red color without the stripes.
Red worms are hermaphrodites, which means they have both male and female reproductivbe organs. Each worm is capable of producing egg capsules, but first must have contact with another worm to be fertilized.
Under favorable conditions each worm will produce egg capsules every 7 to 10 days. These incubate for 14 to 21 days, usually near the surface area.The worm egg is slightly oval in shape and looks similar to a grain of rice.
The egg is creamy white when first laid then turns yellow and almost reddish brown as it nears hatching. Each capsule contains from 2 to 20 worms and the new born reaches breeding age in 60 to 90 days when the band or collar appears about 1/4 down the length of the worm from its head. The band or ring around the neck is scientifically called the clitellum.
Red worms are not as large as night crawlers, but the red worm is the most popular fishing worm because of their liveliness, attractive color, ability to handle heat and cold and they do not break apart like the night crawler.
Red worms and European Nightcrawlers are easy to grow. They're basically vegetarians and like to eat waste from your kitchen, yard and garden. They can't eat things like plastic, glass or metals. They will eat hard foods like apples, carrots, and other fresh vegetables, buth these foods must begin to decompose slightly.
Worms don't have teeth, but do have mouths. They take food through their mouths and digest it in their gizzards. A worms's gizzard needs a small amount of grit to grind their food. That's why it's important to add a little handful of garden soil to their bedding.
A general rule is that they will consume about 1/2 their body weight in food waste per day, so if you purchased one pound of worms, you can expect them to consume about 1/2 pound of garbage per day.
Apples, Arkichoke, Banana, Bean, Bran, Bread, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cantaloupe, Carrots, Cereal, Citrus Fruits, Coffee Grounds, Corn meal, Coffee filters, Cucumber, Egg shells, Grapes, Grits, Honeydew, Lettuce, Molasses, Oatmeal, Onions, Pancakes, Papaya, Pasta, Pears, Peaches, Potatoes, Rice, Spinach, Tea Bags, Tomatoes, Turnips, Watermelon, Zucchini.

2) Heavily salted foods. Salted peanuts, potato chips, etc.
3) Animal feeds. May contain antibiotics and genarally too high in protein.
She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful red haired, freckled faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout. We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day.
I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day. Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in.
"Mom, let's run through the rain," she said. "What?" Mom asked. "Let's run through the rain!" She repeated. "No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied. This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through the rain." "We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said. "No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm.
"This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?" "Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!" The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.
Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith.
"Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If GOD let's us get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said. Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and yes, through the puddles. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few whom screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.
Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories... So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories everyday. To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. A friend sent this to me to remind me of life. Hope you enjoy it
I HOPE YOU STILL TAKE THE TIME TO RUN THROUGH THE RAIN * Keep in touch with your friends, you never know when you'll need each other.
