I'm currently working on a new layout that should make finding stuff so much easier. Just waiting for some guys in Serbia, I believe, to crack an issue with it, then I have weeks of re-inputting all the articles ahead.

 

It'll be worth it, though, as I think the percentage of people from this forum who read the articles must be very low, at present.

 

Respect to Quest for searching the article first! Hope you enjoy it - it's probably the most sought after article that Leon has written.......and he's written a few

Depends Bill, I've caught more on red worms than brandlings( the ones with dark rings and ooze a yellow gunk when burst).

Those thin red worms are the best

 

Really good for bream.

 

During the spring and summer, I fill a couple of plastic bags with horse manure from a friendly stables (don't use the sawdust based bedding, but the stuff they gather from the fields and pile-up).

 

The bags go into my pannier bags (it's a bu**er cycling up steep hills in wet weather, dry manure weighs almost nothing, but when it's well-soaked it weighs a ton).

 

Back in the garden, add that to my 'manure stack' (in fact a couple of very large plastic compost bins)

 

When the manure breaks down, it becomes infested with red worms

 

Many old garden books advise you to manure ground in the Autumn, but all that does is allow the nitrogen to be washed out into the water table - not good. Far better to do what I do, manure in the spring, with the worms going to join their friends in the worm compost, just as it begins to warm up and they get hungry and start to breed full time.

Have you done much on brandlings Leon?

No, brandlings are excellent for breaking down compost for the garden, but the fish don't seem to like tham as much as other worms.

 

The problem is they will colonise your worm bin, especially if it get's too acid through too much kitchen waste being added for the worms to deal with.
