Go to any place that keeps horses, and has a manure pile. There should be millions of them.

Re: Garden Worms
Get a long screwdriver or similar, wait till early morning then go to your local field and pop your screwdriver far in the ground and wiggle around they will surface....
We used to do this for fishing

Re: Garden Worms
LOL............thought not, ok then, put all your old tea bags in a bucket or similar and cover them with water, then leave to `brew` for a couple of weeks.......then pour it over your compost, the nitrogen in the liquid should help activate your pile.............
