Yammer Dan Posted July 18, 2015 Share #3 Posted July 18, 2015 I have a fair supply of night crawlers in my yard. Would like to know how to increase them. I like feeding them to the fish in the river here!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venture n Dixie Posted July 18, 2015 Share #4 Posted July 18, 2015 My bro n law used to have a box at the lake house. Used a dead chest freezer. Said he filled it with dirt, put the bacon grease and coffee grinds in and the worms loved it. I tried raising honeybees but learned they're girls and expected me to acomadate their schedule. Got out of that quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsteve Posted July 18, 2015 Share #6 Posted July 18, 2015 I used to have a Red Wiggler farm with 7 other farmers for a total of 3,000 feet of wind rows. We harvested a minimum of 6 yards of castings every weekend. It is a LOT of work when you do it commercially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kozubek Posted July 20, 2015 Share #12 Posted July 20, 2015 Not to mention, the sting from a honey bee is a lot more painful than the sting from an earth worm. If you put a six foot wood fence in front of the bee hive the bees will mostly stay out of your way. The fly it that height when coming and going. When I was in iraq we gave out business grants for locals to produce honey. I learned a lot about the process while I was there.
