How to Raise Big Fat Fishing Worms

First the type of pig we'll be discussing are the Eisenia Foetida (scientific name) for Red Worms / Red Wigglers. They're easy to increase and adapt very well to bedding and temperature conditions. Size isn't significant in worm composting therefore that the typical red worms / red wigglers are 1 to 2 inches and weigh about 900 to 1000 per pound. Here at Southern Bait Worms we create red worms / red wigglers fishing cups that are two to 3.5 inches long and weigh approximately 600 each pound.

The very first step you'll have to do is prepare a key worm bin. It may be used 100 percent or mixed 50/50 with paper. Plastic bins are easy to get and also earn decent worm bins.



Let us begin using a plastic bin that has 24 inches long x 12 inches wide x 12 inches deep which has two square feet of surface area. This is our principal pig bin that will hold 2 lbs. Of worms. After a few months you will start to see small worms in your principal bin. You may feed this bin your food scraps, paper, grain etc..

Two to 3 weeks before you may require fishing worms you'll want to get a SECONDARY bin prepared. Peat moss or coir (coconut fiber) for your cosmetics. A plastic bin 12 inches wide x 12 inches long x 6 inches deep 1 surface square foot (12qt. Plastic dish pan) from Walmart functions great. From your PRIMARY bin pick 250 of the biggest red worms/red wigglers usually around 1.5 to two inches. Put these 250 worms into your SECONDARY bin. Grain feed poultry laying crumbles or rabbit feed every second day.

Adjust feed to ensure that all feed is consumed by the next moment. Three to four weeks later your reddish worm/red wigglers should have double in size. Don't include any more worms to the SECONDARY bins. As soon as you have used all your fishing worms start with a fresh bin. You might want to get two of those smaller secondary bins for a continuous supply of fishing worms.
