When I read Ken's story, I felt like stopping what I was doing, going and buying all the stuff and doing what he did. What are your thoughts...without giving away the essence of the story for those who haven't read it yet?

Very interesting, although I think I'll just buy mine at the tackle store. Perhaps the best part, if you did it his way, would be the by-products.

I've been away for a while. What is the name of the thread you are talking about?

Catmandoo Ken? Which thread?
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

I believe Bob is referring to a story by Catmandoo in the new PBMag.
"Without giving away the essence of the story for those who haven't read it yet," I thought it was a pretty good guide to doing what it does.

Ken's article was excellent, and all the info you would need to raise your own trout worms. ( That's what we call them here.)

Everything you'd ever want to know!!! I was however a little upset to hear about Lumbricus Terrestris, those are my all-time favorite. It is incredible what Pondboss can get on only 2 1/2 pages!!! THANK YOU!!! ;-)
I have buried the hatchet.

Got mine today. Thinking about going back to doing it again. I thought Kens article was great.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Got it, read it, LOVED IT! Great job Ken! I think utilizing members wisdom and experiences into the mag is awesome. Hopefully others will chime in with some "outside of the box" projects!

Geeze, you guys are going to give me a big head.  Thanks for the great compliments. As usual, there was a lot of other really great content from cooking to fin clipping. Since not everyone has their copy yet, I don't want to give anything away. P.S. -- My worms got thinned out the other day. We had a windstorm, and the lid blew off the "worm farm." Four or five of our free-range hens were in there gorging themselves on scraps and worms. Ken

Verry nice Catmandoo! I can't wait for spring so I can start my own worm farm. These are the kind of projects that make managing ponds fun.

I am going to probably do a worm farm, as I get tired of looking under stumps for dinky worms when the kids want to fish.
Adirondack Pond, that was an awesome cover photo of your pond also

Ken great read. Got the mag yesterday and only article I went thru thus far. I remember reading the post last year and wanting to do a worm box. I will have one made by spring, thanks.

Just got my issue and went straight to Ken's article (after Bob's "From the Editor's Desk", of course). Very good and informative. I have a small set up, but will expand in the spring.
Just do it...

I can't wait to read it. I usually get my magazine earlier than most on the site, but the tides have turned for this edition. Hopefully it will be here tomorrow.

I got the magazine Christmas Eve...what a nice, early present.
I thoroughly enjoyed Ken's article. My dad and I alrady built a worm farm after exhanging PMs with Ken some time ago. He is a true gentleman and is very knowledgable.
Great article, Ken!

Ken's article was the kind of article I really like - a detailed how-to-do-it article. Excellent job Ken and thanks for putting it together for us! I will try Ken's project in addition to using fish lures from my compost pile. In mid summer the pickins are slim in the compost pile due to too little fresh scraps.
