How to Make Money Raising Worms
Raising red wriggler worms is an easy hobby that can also net you extra cash. You can sell red wriggler worms for fishing bait and also to anyone interested in making a worm compost bin. Worm composting is ideal for apartment dwellers or anyone who doesn't want to be bothered with setting up an outdoor compost pile. Starting a bin requires ½ to 1 lb. of red wriggler worms, while fishermen will buy the worms a few ounces at a time.
