Earthworms – What do they Eat?
I need to know what earthworms eat. I know coffee grounds are good but that’s as far as my knowledge goes.
In case you are wondering why I ask, I go fishing for trout and bass and I want to use worms for bait. I also have 2 horses and over the winter their manure gets stored in a huge pile till in the spring, then it all gets spread and recycled.
How this all started: there were these real big healthy looking worms at the bottom of this pile of horse dung; like I said I go fishing in the spring and summer so instead of buying them I’d figured I’d use what I have …plus they are put to good use in the flower and veggie garden so there is a dual purpose.
I am growing my worms in a garage for coolness, stored in a cooler, with air, dirt from the pasture…now back to my question from above.
Thanks for your time, and I hope someone can help me with the answer because the worms are getting hungry!
