Worm Fattening Food Recipe

Our worms are normally smaller because we only feed screened diary manure in order to maintain the Organic lab tests and certification.

To really enlarge our worms for better bait purposes, here's a great recipe for what is fondly called "WORM FATTENER":

5 parts chicken layer pellets or chick starter
2 parts wheat or rice bran
2 parts alfalfa pellets
1 part whole wheat flour
1 part agricultural lime
1 part powdered milk

Just mix several handfuls of "Worm Fattener" with the food waste at each feeding and your worms will be nice & plump for fishing.
