Many people know that I tried to chase nitecrawlers around (maybe there werent any cause it was winter?) and kinda failed. I couldnt get any for a worm farm.
My first attempt a long time ago with earth worms absolutely failed. It was too dry, and it was in an aquarium... :shock: When I emptied it, nothing but dirt, newpaper, a little bit of food scraps, and some dried up dead worms...
So I started another one, with more planning. I tried to get nitecrawlers, but failed. I ended up using 2 dozen from Dick's that I didn't use when steelheading. At a house I used to live in (we rent it out now), it was in the "country", or in hillsboro. The yard was huge and the land was fertile. I flipped over some stepping stones and boy, there was tons of huge worms, some earthworms and some nites.
So today, I upgraded my farm. Drilled some air holes and got a good lid. I opened the lid and started to dump the dirt out. Holy smokes! Those worms were HUGE! Absolutely HUGE! At least 4 of them were a foot long! Then there were lots of little baby nitecrawlers too. :dance:
The dirt I originally put in there was now mostly all loose/finer grains of dirt.
I could sell those foot longers, if only they were 5 dolla foot longs...
:lol:
I might add some pics later. Im afraid they are so big that they might make some of us.......![Roll eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png)
