Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | It's been long enough, so I'm going to share the results of a little experiment I tried this past summer. This past spring the wife bought a paper shredder to shred all our bank statements or any other documents with any of our offcial/private numbers on them. I immediately noticed that this birds nest type refuse might make a fine worm bedding, so I cut, shredded, submerged in water and rung out some shredded strips of news paper and put it into a small 2 quart pale. I then removed and washed each individual crawler from the basic Bait Shop tub, and put them into the shredded bedding. I'm telling you I've had the same crawlers in that pale for 8 weeks in the frig, and they are still lively, fat and sassy as of my last trip out Monday. And there is virtually no black dirt mess involved when using them. Newspapers or those Market flyers made with the more soft and porous paper seem to be the best, as they still release some of the ingredients that the crawlers actually thrive on like cellulose. |
