Who/What Is This Course For?
For people with little to no experience raising worms…..
If you LOVE fishing, but don’t love having to buy bait – or buying bait from a servo and being disappointed time after time.
If you have a pet like an axolotl, or fresh water stingray, that LOVES worms, and you want to try to raise your own food for them.
This course will teach you a method to raise “bait sized” African OR European Night Crawlers for home use – large worms used widely for fishing and pet feeding. I am teaching a method that is very similar to how I raise these worms to sell.
I will show you how to start and maintain a colony of “breeders” and how to then grow worms out to size from that stock.
Overview:
Raising worms to bait size is not a simple or one step process. You may have tried before and failed. You may have tried to raise normal composting worms and failed. I’m sorry to hear that, but it is quite common. There’s so much misinformation and too many voices on the internet, how do you make sense of it all?
The first step in this process is to be able to raise “composting worms.” I teach this professionally at many Workshops. Then you need to know the extra steps required for starting and maintaining a breeding colony- and fattening worms to size. I teach you and show you all of the steps, with examples so that you know what to look for.
If you want to make this into a business, or grow worms at scale, this system is not suitable for you – but it will be a good starting point for you, especially if you have little or no experience in raising worms. Then you can grow it into a larger output over time; and if you need help to transition to a higher production, you can hire me to help you – or I can refer you along to someone or something that suits your goals.
What Is Included?
I teach you about composting worms in general and African & European Night Crawlers in particular.
(Please remember this system is for home use, not commercial or large scale production.)
This course has two parts:
Part 1 – Raising Composting Worms and
Part 2 – Fattening Worms To Bait Size
In Part 1 – Raising Composting Worms, I show you:
(Bait species are composting-type worms)
• How to start, feed and use worm farms successfully to raise composting worms and some common myths & mistakes to avoid
• The often misunderstood role of carbon vs nitrogen in the worm farm, how to add these materials successfully
• Do’s and don’ts, common mistakes and how to fix common problems you may encounter in the future
• “Worm Foods To Avoid List” – and WHY the foods are on there
• Worm species identification and uses. Why composting & garden worms are different.
• Full written instructions on starting and operating this type of worm farm in the Virtual Students’ Resources
In Part 2 – Fattening Worms To Bait Size, I show you:
For both European and African Night Crawlers, specifically:
How to use the bucket type farms for raising breeders and growing worms out to size:
• How to start and maintain a colony of “breeders”
• How to grow baby worms out to a large size
• What to feed, what not to feed and why; and what to watch for when feeding
• How to rescue bins that have “gone sour”
• What environmental conditions you have to monitor or supply/change from season to season
• Examples of simple types of worm farms you could make at home if you want to – or you can buy one of the special packs at the workshop (details below)
• I will bring along examples of systems at different stages to show you what you are looking for
• An overview of the common problems faced by the home worm farmer and their solutions
• An overview of the other popular system for raising worms, the Cocoon Breeding System. (I don’t teach you the Cocoon Breeding System, but I can refer you to a course after you complete my course, if you wish to learn more)
• Virtual Students’ Resources Page – printable/viewable PDF’s (a computer document) of info sheets for all of the processes taught. Available for you forever, as long as you don’t share the password to others (via individual password access)
Additional Materials/Resources After The Workshop:
- “The Big Book Of Answers” E-book – a 50% off coupon code for my E-book – a great reference for raising composting worms
- Virtual Students’ Resources Page – printable/viewable PDF’s (a computer document) of info sheets for all of the processes taught, plus a handy form to contact Brian for express help. Available for you forever, as long as you don’t share the password to others (via individual password access)

“Plus FEE” Pricing
The ticketing platform, Eventbrite, charges a small fee on purchases.
Students pay this fee. For example, with an add-on for $60, the fee is
$4.39. For full pricing, see the event/ticketing site and click purchase
ticket, see the add-ons with their full pricing.
What IS NOT Included?
Business ventures/growing at scale:
This course is designed for teaching people to raise “bait worms” for use at home. Once it becomes a business, or you want to scale up – like to supply a bait shop or as a part time business – a lot of things would have to change. I can help you with this transition, but it is not included in this course.
If you are making this a business, you may like to have a Private Workshop, either in place of this course, or in addition to this course to refine any parts that need it. You can also pay for my hourly help afterwards – details at www.TheWormMan.com.au/hourly
I don’t teach you the Cocoon Breeding System, but I can refer you to a course after you complete my course if you wish.
Personal/private help after the course is not included.
Just like when you do a TAFE course, you don’t get personal help from your trainer after the course finishes.
Of necessity, I have to charge for the time I spend, as this is my “job”.
The course is professionally delivered by someone qualified to teach (me) and experienced in raising worms. It contains all of the information you should need to succeed, but you need to learn things by experience to succeed repeatedly, so some mistakes and failures are expected.
You may not be instantly successful – this is not a golden turn-key kind of thing, we don’t just throw worms in a bucket of trash and come back in 3 months to find money laying there waiting for us – there are lessons to learn by experience etc.
If you have any questions about clearing up the content of supplied information, I’d like to know, so I can improve the supplied information in future. Please ask me any questions you may have and I will try to help.
An option, especially if you are making this a business, is to pay for my hourly help after the course – details at www.TheWormMan.com.au/hourly
