LadyBlue Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Hello Again .... I was reading the latest topic on black worms and then it linked me to learn about red worms { I am asking questions here because I didnt want 2 hyjack a thread and I still dont quite understand what is and isnt hijacking } I enjoyed learning about all this ..... I am now wanting 2 know if an old bag {me} liveing alone can help make compost and as well feed the worms to my little fish ...... I have ordinary community fish from neons 2 platys. are they big enuff 2 be able to eat live worms ? Thanks in advance ....... I think I should be doing more to help Mother Earth and I could just donate the composed to someone on here that does planting ? .... I probably said this in a confuseing way but if anyone understands what I am trying to say and sure like an answer ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosshog Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 http://www.wormcomposting.ca/how-to/make-a-worm-bin/ http://www.wormcomposting.ca/getting-started/ It really is as easy as the articles make it sound. I was finding new cocoons within a couple weeks of starting my bins and the worm population just keeps on growing. I'd suggest red worms for feeding the smaller fish. That being said you will soon be finding all sizes of worms in your bin. I've never noticed odors coming from my bins, they are in the house for the winter. The only pests I've noticed are fruit flies and they are pretty easily dealt with using fruit fly traps. The bin will take about 5 minutes to make. I'd start with a pound of worms and let them multiply out from there. If you need more links let me know and I'll post some. I wish I could help you out with stock, but I don't have enough yet, I didn't start out with enough for my bins and the populations are still growing. Frank on this board may be able to help you out.

I plan to figure this all out and get my worms going good , then Im going to make one for my grandsons who like to go fishing, then send it to them in Sask so they can learn ways to help Mother Earth, { under the veil of fishing bait } ..... I have already been planting seeds in there mothers head about putting a pond in there back yard ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
