I started mine like 4 months ago it is a great way to get free worms and all you need is a 5 gallon bucket some newpaper and some dirt put the newspaper in first a little water then pour dirt in and toss in worms. i just went and bought 3 18 packs it keeps me catfishing everyweekend toss in a little water and some coffee grounds or egg shells. up here the catfish bite on night crawlers much better then chicken livers and it doesnt require you to have nylon to hold the liver on
