I have thought about raising worms. It’s a two-fold purpose, it produces great soil additive, and bait. We have a small(30acre) lake just barely out of sight from the back door that is a fairly good fishing lake. But I will procrastinate and never do it.
I thought about doing it once. Even bought some containers to make my own system. Then I procrastinated till I got over it. LOL
Found another use for those containers.
We have red wigglers in our Keyhole gardens. One we’re
setting up with jars in the middle of soil, attached to a
clear plastic tube. We’ll be able to send down a camera,
through the tube and watch the wigglers doing their thing.
I understand they reproduce quickly. So we may have to build another Keyhole garden. In fact I’m collecting beer
bottles, which we have a lot of, around here, and will be
building a Beer bottle Keyhole garden.
Does your lake have fish? Do you fish? When you clean
the fish, put the heads, bones and whatever in a barrel
with water. Allow to dissolve. Makes great fertilizer. My Dad did that for years. Mom had the best flower garden and lawn. Her roses were beautiful. Pappa sprayed the soil every spring.
