How to start Earthworm Breeding setup?

[Pyramid_Party]

Hi Guys,


Im thinking about breeding earthworms. I just want something small, for personal use. What amount of worms, and supplies would I need? What kinda cost am I looking at? Are they easy to breed, do they stink? I know nothing about breeding them. I just want to have a little supply so I can feed some to my fish. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

i used an old metal bin filled with half compost and half horse manuer mixed up together i bought 2lb of earth worms from a bait shop and threw em in then left em for a month or so only taking the lid off to throw in any fruit and veg scraps that i had
