Place a 6-9 inch deep grass sod in a lidded deep container. Don't put more than 30 worms in each container. Lobs feed on leaves, so about once a week add a handful of brown leaves to them. Plenty this time of year. Also add half a cupfull of rainwater every 2 weeks. Keep the containers in a cool, dark and dry place Don't under cercumstances allow frost to get at them and the worms should be OK for as long as you want them.

Check for any dead ones from time to time and remove.

I use to go to a local farm and dig in the dung heap on my way to go fishing, nice and fresh in many ways.

Sorry to resurrect this old thread but does anyone have a better idea than Phil's of filling a vast box with an old sod (sounds like Robert Maxwell's burial!).
I'm sure there are methods of storing them that involve something other than sods and moss; can't I use some other medium for my collection?

I keep mine in a lidded small plastic bucket in the garage.
I started them off with dead leaves ,shredded newspaper and the occasional mashed spud,not salted.
Now I top them up with damp moss.

Plain garden soil worked for me as long as you don't overcrowd.

What's wrong with Moss Mark. You can filla couple of placcy bags full in no time at all, and it lasts for months. Worms love it too, in my experience they do much better in moss than they do in soli or newspaper.
