Product Information

A wormery should be kept in a shed or a sheltered area of the garden where it gets neither too cold in the winter nor too hot in the summer

Bream, roach, tench, carp, chub and barbel will all accept a dendrobaea or a piece of dendrobaena worm. If you read about anyone having a good catch using chopped worms they will more than likely have used dendrobaena worms for their ‘choppie’ mix – the mush of chopped-up worms that are used as a groundbait to attract fish such as perch, tench, bream, roach and carp.As with other earthworm species, E. fetida is hermaphroditic, and uniparental reproduction is possible, even if usually the reproduction is between copulating individuals. [16] The two worms join clitella, the large, lighter-colored bands which contain the worms' reproductive organs, and which are only prominent during the reproduction process. The two worms exchange sperm. Both worms then secrete cocoons, which contain several eggs each. These cocoons are lemon-shaped and are pale yellow at first, becoming more brownish as the worms inside become mature. These cocoons are clearly visible to the naked eye. At 25°C, E. fetida hatches from its cocoon in about 3 weeks. [17] Lifespan [ edit ] Keep the wormery out of direct sunlight as it may get too hot for the worms. A shady north-facing wall is a good position for the summer. Too much wet waste can make your wormery smelly, while too much dry waste can slow down the composting process. You can add some shredded newspaper or cardboard if you think your mix is getting too wet. But more importantly, the size and the wriggling action of lobworms makes them also impossible for perch and tench to resist. A carefully presented lobworm, either floatfished over depth or legered tight to a marginal shelf or weed bed is sure to be taken by either of those species.

E. fetida worms are native to Europe, but have been introduced (both intentionally and unintentionally) to every other continent except Antarctica. The mitochondrial genetic characteristics of the Irish population of E. fetida could be the result of reproductive isolation, so suggests that this sample may constitute an unrecognized species or subspecies of E. fetida. [15] Reproduction [ edit ] E. fetida copulating in a compost bin Organic waste usually has a high moisture content. If the lid is kept on, dry conditions are unlikely to occur. Add water only if the wormery appears dry. Orozco, F. H.; Cegarra, J.; Trujillo, L. M.; Roig, A. (1996).

S2CID 25060696.These worms prefer slightly different conditions, so you may find a mix of both gives you more flexibility in maintaining your wormery. Chopped worm is one of the very best ways to put together a good bag of quality fish, especially during the colder months. Introducing a pole cup of chopped up dendrobaena worms will attract fish on lakes, canals and on slower flowing rivers, but it’s not a great technique to use on fast and powerful rivers as the worms will simply be washed away. Remember: Fruit and vegetable scraps that contain seeds can be included but the seeds may germinate in the wormery.
