When I was a boy - my father had a friend named fred Young who lived at West
End in Brisbane who kept birds and fish and he bred Whiteworms in wooden
boxes of birdseed compost that he had stacked over a water filled tray under
his house. He had about a dozen boxes of them and used to collect about a
gallon of worms a day to feed to his birds, fish and axolotyls and he had
then going for over 20 years but it was always cool under his house
