Hi Jack

I used to raise worms for my vegie garden, wormcasings are the best food for growing tomatoes, so start a patch, gardening is nearly as good as fishing to keep you sane.

I could go on about them for pages, but here's a link showing everything you should know, and a google search page showing a host of information.

Drop the bucket idea, head down to the local fruit market and get a few styrene fruitboxes, these are the best.

Enjoy.

okay might have it in the right section now Lol. used ta breed worm some time back for freshwater fishing using the old pie crates.
lay some hession on bottom, soil, worms and heaps of potatoe peelings and spoilt vegies. Worms thrive on this stuff.
Keep covered with hession and keep moist.
Cheers
