Summary:
With a little effort, you can always have nightcrawlers ready for your next fishing adventure, just like Grandpa did.A Simple Guide to Keeping Nightcrawlers
If you're an avid angler, having nightcrawlers on hand can make your fishing trips more convenient. One traditional and effective way to achieve this is by maintaining a crawler bin at home. You can use something as simple as a 3x3x3 planter box or even a wine barrel filled with quality soil. It's best to avoid materials like metal or plastic, as they can heat up quickly; opt for natural materials instead. Additionally, if your box is above ground, ensure it's made from opaque materials, as nightcrawlers prefer darkness.
My grandfather had a smart setup with a box buried in the ground near his house, in a shaded flowerbed. This approach offered several benefits: it kept the worms in a central, accessible location; protected them from summer heat; and ensured safety by placing it out of the way where no one would accidentally trip over it. If you choose to bury your box, don’t fill the soil to the top, or your worms might escape.
After every fishing trip, Grandpa would return the unused nightcrawlers to the box, ensuring a constant supply for future outings. This is one way to maintain your stock, but you can also order worms from a worm farm. Either way, adding leftover worms from your excursions helps keep your bin well-stocked.
To keep your worms happy, consider maintaining a ratio of approximately 1 to 4. For example, a half-pound of worms would thrive in a box around two cubic feet in size. It's important to provide a sufficient surface area for oxygen flow. Also, remember to drill drainage holes in the bottom and sides of the box to prevent waterlogging and promote airflow, particularly if your box is above ground. Strips of newspaper can help retain moisture and protect the worms.
Many companies offer worm bedding and food supplements. As with any living creatures you care for, taking a bit of time to research their needs will ensure they're healthy and thriving. After all, fish aren't fond of dead worms?"give them a fresh, lively meal instead!
