I just use soil mixed with dry grass clippings, shredded newspaper, coffee grounds and dead leaves. Occasionally I put in some coffee grounds and corn meal. I try to keep the grounds and corn meal down aways to keep the flies from turning it into a maggot bed. Keep it a little bit moist but not wet. Any kind of container will do. Some of the guys here use kitchen table scraps but that turned mine into a nasty hot compost pile with a bunch of dead worms.

Look under the area Raising Forage and Bait. It's down there but you'll have to go for awhile to find the posts..

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.
