How to Breed and Store Worms!

Keeping your own worms at home can save money, reduce bait waste and mean you've always got a supply ready for your next fishing session.

In this video, I show you two different ways I've used to store worms at home. First, I'll show you how to create a simple wormery using an inexpensive storage box, topsoil, damp shredded paper and used tea leaves.

I'll explain how I encourage the worms to breed, how wet the soil should be, why temperature matters and some of the mistakes I've made over the years.

Then I'll show you the much simpler system I've personally used for the last five years - keeping my worms in an airflow bait tub in the fridge.

It's quick, clean and incredibly convenient, particularly if you regularly use worms for your fishing.

In this video:
• How to make a simple wormery
• What to feed your worms
• How to encourage worms to breed
• The importance of moisture and temperature
• Mistakes to avoid
• How long worms can take to grow
• My simple airflow-tub method
• Why I keep my worms in the fridge
• How to have different-sized worms available for fishing

If you regularly fish with worms, hopefully this will help you look after your bait, waste less and save a bit of money along the way.

🪱 QUESTION FOR YOU: How do YOU store your worms between fishing sessions?

Do you keep them in the fridge, have a proper wormery, or simply buy fresh worms every time you go fishing?

I'd be really interested to hear what methods everyone uses - and particularly how long you've managed to keep yours in good condition! 👇 Thanks for watching everyone, Jamie :)

I too have been thinking about ways to keep worms for longer, since I don’t have access to a fridge I’ve just setup a tub in my garage. For the first time my unused worms from the weekend will not go to waste.

Brilliant explanation on keeping worms. I normally go to my local tackle shop and buy 3 quids worth of worms to last a few sessions through the week. So now iv watched this podcast i went out and got myself a storage container and set up in the outhouse where it sits on topof the fringe where i keep my other baits .lets see what happens with three quids worth. Thanks again.

I feed my denda worms on tinned carrots and slices of cucumber. They love them. They keep for ages, happily breeding away, in a big builders muck bucket on the floor in the garage.

Great video Jamie mate, you showed me what I was doing wrong when I used to try keeping worms and breeding them . Thanks mate 👍

@michaeljames5936 7 days ago

Thank you. What I cannot find info on, is how many pounds of worms can I harvest per year? If I want to use them instead of chicken feed, what size of set-up would I need to provide enough protein for six hens?

Great video Jamie. I’ve had a nightmare with keeping worms alive. Doing it this way now. With regards to the fridge, just leaving them in it with it on all the time? Just surprised the worms survive on the cold as they seem to die on me when I leave them in a bag on the garage floor and we have a temperature drop or raise!

Confused so do you feed teabags damp shredded paper in the Airflow box, great video.

@paganoutdoors36912 2 weeks ago

How do the worms breath with the 35ltr container, love the method, or did I miss something, atb craig

@richardevans9498 2 weeks ago

@timjoyce69 9 days ago

@robertoliverfishingdaysout 2 weeks ago

Hello Jamie, can you tell me what app you use for your thumbnails.

@GaryTucker-kn1qp 2 weeks ago

Jamie - how often do you change the soil medium to stop the worms dying in their own faescs ?

@stewartwilson3258 2 weeks ago

Brilliant and really weirdly timed as I have been looking into breeding worms over the last couple of days so thank you. One question with the big tub do you put any form of air hole in it for them or leave it as it is? I have a garage I can store mine in so would be doing it in there rather than the fridge and use a lot of worm so this will hopefully save me a fortune in the long run. Thanks again Jamie.
