Re: Garden Worms
 

Go to any place that keeps horses, and has a manure pile. There should be millions of them.

Well Flashers...............i never put any in my compost bins and they are full to bursting with them............!!!

Re: Garden Worms
 

Get a long screwdriver or similar, wait till early morning then go to your local field and pop your screwdriver far in the ground and wiggle around they will surface....

We used to do this for fishing ;)

Pipples, i keep putting stuff in the compost bins and nothing happens, i've had the bins for 2/3 years now and i still have leaves at the bottom of it, nothing is actually composting

Re: Garden Worms
 

The best thing you can do is erm........wee in it.....seriously it will activate the composting process......

Re: Garden Worms
 

:rolleyes: i've heard that before but i won't be doing it

Re: Garden Worms
 

LOL............thought not, ok then, put all your old tea bags in a bucket or similar and cover them with water, then leave to `brew` for a couple of weeks.......then pour it over your compost, the nitrogen in the liquid should help activate your pile.............

Re: Garden Worms
 

hehee, i don't drink much tea, i'll just go round all the neighbours and ask them for their tea bags

My god you are hard work.................have a look at this.......

thankyou Mr Man, i owe ya one

Re: Garden Worms
 

A tackle shop (Fishing) will probably have em by the bucketful.

Re: Garden Worms
 

erm, i don't actually know of any tackle shops anymore, i think the last one around here (well ish) was near the Greyhound in Clayton and i think that shut down years ago

Re: Garden Worms
 

Tried that, they are as scarce as hens teeth in the tackle shops round here. Best place as I said earlier is a stables, they are usualy glad to get rid of manure, and its normaly heaving with worms.

Re: Garden Worms
 

:eek: i hope you actually mean a tackle shop Bernie and not a public house ;)

Re: Garden Worms
 

Yes it is a fishing tackle shop;)

Re: Garden Worms
 

lol stop winking at me, you're scaring me ;)

The one opposite Dr Kapenda's surgery.
They don't sell them either.
If your really stuck mix a solution of pot permang in a watering can and pour it over the garden, worms come to the top like lightning they don't like it, have a bucket of clean water handy to wash the worms in, and chuck em in the compost
