Hey Gaz, never done it myself but if you have any info let me know would be useful to have that sort of information on the site.

Hey I'm not sure if you can call it breading but I keep my own worms in my shed in an old fish tank with compost and sand mixed and I add vegetable peeling and anything that they equire and put it this way they grow pretty fast. I searched my garden for worms a few weeks ago and found thelittle white ones and I wantedto see how much they grown in a few weeks and they are now about 4" long and I caught them when they were very very small. best Regards, Anno

Anno the little white worms could be new born ones all immature worms are thin white and usually found in small clumps as they hatch out

oh rite cool, they seem to grow very fast and when they do grow they change to a browny colour. They look like normal earthworms.
