smerchly Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 I can't remember the days of the week sometimes ....a thing about retirement ....take notice Bubba ! ha ! As we approach mid December , my snow shovel and snow blower are on "stand by" , and my ice fishing gear is waiting earnestly to test the hard water . As I was watering the dog tonight I took the opportunity to check for dew worms ....YES !! ...they are "sunning " themselves in the darkness all over the yard ! Think I'll grab a dozen for Monday's perch and "whatevers" ... Got a new spot to try ....... ( but did fish there over 60 years ago ) ...Well ,I'm back ( I know it's Sat. night & everyone is at the bar )..and it took no time to get a dozen ...and Maggie my dog was trying to catch a few for me !

Tyler0420 Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 I was just outback and noticed all the worms on the lawn. Last December I believe we were picking worms also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbocco Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 I throw worms into a pale when I see them. Or I throw the leftovers if I ever buy a dozen into a pale. I water the pale and feed it banana peels and lettuce. I just dumped it and there are over 50 worms on it. Babies and adults! Neat stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted December 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 How large a pail do you use and how much do you put in it . I have a few 5 gal pails used for wine (many years ago) with lids that I drilled small air holes for ventilation . Sometimes I have a dozen or more foam worm boxes I picked up at fishing spots . I used one last night , added some dirt for the 13 worms . They will get bathed tomorrow ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbocco Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Oh geez. Can u tell I had been drinking when I typed that? Wrong pale and wrong auto correct. Must have still had pale ale on the brain. Anyhow, it’s just a regular size bucket. More like 1 gallon. It’s filled with about 4 inches of dirt. It has drainage/breathing holes on the bottom. They are really small. I add dirt now and then. I only feed the pail vegetables (especially banana peels) and water it every few days making sure the soil is moist. It lives inside, which my wife hates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can quickly edit a word here but it takes lonnnnnger to correct the pale ale ailment .....some strong coffee maybe ? Thanks for the info Bocco , I have a "fruit cellar" in this old "50's" house that stays at about 40^F. during the winter and , as everyone knows ,the smerch loves bananas ! 🍌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
