Now Blast, are these REALLY *fishing* worms? Or are you planning on feeding them some special marinade????

When I was a kid my Dad had a big box in the basement where he experimented with worm ranching.

The worms originated in big piles of wet newspapers that had been dumped down over the edge of the creek at the end of the street.

Dad fed them corn meal.

We didn't go fishing enough to justify the effort. Stuff like that is just fun for him.

He let the worms go in the backyard when the experiment was over. (unlike what he did with the mice that he bred from white mice into an almost entirely black strain)
