There is loads of info on this site.

The majority of us love to pass on our knowledge and help others as we have been helped ourselves.

 

Ask a question and you will get answers, you can also use the search facility at the top of the page just under post new topic which can be a great tool to get answers etc quickly although it is nice to get your question answered personally.

 

I store my worms in the bucket they come in, in a cupboard in the garage.

When it gets cold I wrap some old thermal trousers round the bucket because frost kills worms.

My fridge is to cold for worms as it has to cool my beer and maggots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got some maggots on Friday and they are ok today but i`d say 10% had turned to casters which i also used and got a couple of fish on.

 

Anyways....that info is all in the link above.

 

The reason i post is to ask a question relating the the maggot question. Its to do with Maise or sawdust.....do you lot use it. The bait shop always asks if i want maise and i never know what to say! Whats it for and what does it do ?
