hi all, have only posted on the "say hello" bit before, was feeling brave so thought I'd come here and tell you something!!!! I have just taken delivery of a worm farm, including worms. I reckon I may be the only person very excited about this! It's all set up and I am NOT going to try and name every worm individually. Haven't had much to feel excited about recently so this is great. And I'm not insane before you ask Hope everyones feeling ok xx

Hi Mel,
Worms are faceting so I understand your excitement! Let us know cus when I was a kid we made one with a fish tank some sol and a bit of sand... they made the most intricate tunnels and patterns and after a bit we let them go again... I wonder what they thought or even if they do?
Go on name each one Nice to meet you by the way. Cris x0 -
How brilliant I love the unusual, like Cris we did the same when we were kids in an old glass bowl with makeshift lid.
My mum found it in my bedroom and made me get rid.
Good Luck and have fun

They are intriguing creatures melbishop, and I hope your wormery gives you great pleasure. One of my favourite books is 'The Little Worm Book' by the Ahlbergs - it's supposedly for children but it makes me grin! DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Hi melbishop
welcome to the forum
I don't know anything about worm farms and to be honest I don't like them. Although if I saw one on garden path I would get my grabber to put it on the soil so it wouldn't frazzle in he sun or get eaten by a bird.
Good luck with it.
Do you have to feed em? and on what?

Hi Mel, Linda and welcome to Mel.
The most uninteresting fact of the day - snails are hermaphrodites, too.

Hi Annie,

No, that was the Music teacher! What stuck in my mind was that snails get the benefits of both, as it still takes two snails to tango! Why snails? Why not ME!

my son had them :oops: :roll: made me itch something awfull lolval0

Great tell me more. Are you setting up a business to sell them on? Are they the ones that people use in their recycling bins to eat your house hold rubbish and turn it into compost? And for everyone if they are in the correct environment they do multiply there is good money in this business. Look forward to your reply.

Hi Mel, and welcome to the forum. I'm afraid that I'm with Berty on this one. I'm not too keen on wriggly creatures with no legs, but I can see that they might be interesting to watch if you don't mind their wriggliness. Good luck with it :!:

Apparently I used to eat them when I was little.
I was a war baby. I must have been starving.

We had an air raid shelter in the garden Barbara. My mother told me (and everyone we met too) that I used to collect them in a cup then hide in the shelter to eat them. Thank goodness I can't remember what they tasted like. Can you?

Hey Woolly,
Nobody loves me, everyone hates me I think I will go and eat worms....
Then its something like thin ones, thick ones, long ones short ones and I don't remember the rest...

Hi Wooly,
Cris is on the right lines (Hi Cris ), it goes
Nobody likes me
Everybody hates me
Just because I eat worms
Short fat hairy ones
Long tall skinny ones
See how the little ones squirm
Bite all their heads off
Suck all the juice out
Throw the empty skins away
Nobody Likes me
Everybody hates me
Cos I eat worms all day
Nobody likes us
Everybody hates us
Just because we eat worms
Short fat hairy ones
Long tall skinny ones
See how the little ones squirm
Bite all their heads off
Suck all the juice out
Throw the empty skins away
Nobody Likes us
Everybody hates us
Cos we eat worms all day
If you need to know any song lyrics just Google (or other search engine) the song title and type lyrics and you'll get the words.Love, Legs x

We sang:
Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
I think I'll go and eat worms,
Long, thin slimy ones, short, fat hairy ones,
Ugly ugly ugly ugly worms.
The long, thin slimy ones slip down easily
The short, fat hairy ones stick,
And when the short, fat hairy ones stick between your teeth,
That's when the juice goes oooooooooosh.
It was a skipping rhyme. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0 -
Thank you for typing all that! I didn't know you could get the song lyrics from Google too. I have used it for book titles though.
Thanks again. Have copied it out and stuck it on the wall.
I did alot of skipping but never knew that one.
Love Wooly0 -
Good old Salvador Dali - mad as a hatter - love his work though
