Garden Worms

[flashy]

where can i get some garden worms? i need some for my compost bins....i've tried finding them in my garden but i don't seem to have any...has anyone got a lot of them in their garden that they don't want?....maybe i should have put this in the buy sell n swap section

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

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

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

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

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.............

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.......

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.
