They just appeared one day though I never put any in but think they got in their from the partially rotted down shredded willow refuse I brought back from the canal and used as mulch. <br /><br />I used them the first time last weekend. Really soft and fragile they are, but they catch fish. Rated by JIm Gibbinson as the best tench bait there is ~<br /><br />http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/coarse-fishing-articles/top_tench_baits.htmlJeff Hatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16164198326538064799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596837967349501859.post-61177661583860669402013-04-12T18:06:43.109+01:002013-04-12T18:06:43.109+01:00Never fall out with a man who's got worms!
&l...Never fall out with a man who's got worms!<br /><br /><y wormery is more than 20 years old and still going strong. It's like yours but the gravel is Lytag, instead of holes it's got a tap so the "Baby Bio" can be collected in 2 litre coke bottles. The bin is lined with a porous polyester sack so the worms don't get into the gravel and it's easy to lift the whole lot out when full and separate the black compost awaty from the worms and the kitchen waste. The local council issued us with food waste bins a few months ago but it is yet to be used as the worms have been recycling the stuffall these years on their own.<br /><br />You are right about their efficacy for just about any fish and although I'd hate to be restricted to one bait, worms would see that most bait fishing opportunities would not be a waste of time...<br /><br />I too have never tried lobworms in a wormery. Lawn snatching has been the regime so far, but a lob wormery would be a very convenient thing to turn to as Anno Dominii takes its toll on my poor back!<br /><br /><br />RRRegular Rodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04412350204961563932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596837967349501859.post-1876157504900880742013-04-12T12:29:09.881+01:002013-04-12T12:29:09.881+01:00Nice one Joe, I've had a bin on the go since 2...Nice one Joe, I've had a bin on the go since 2006, although mine is only redworms , but there are thousands in there. Interesting to read your dendras and lobs are thriving. I might start a new bin this year for some of those as I only use the reds for the choppy mainly.<br /><br /> My wife is just embarrased by what the neighbors must think of me hunting round the garden for lobs at night with a headtorch on !!
