I know a couple of chaps with allotments, so Cabbage White caterpillars and Slugs are in abundance, occasionally Leather Jackets. Great Chub Grub

Yeah still make my own boilies, as we can't buy them here, been making them for well over 20 years now, I use a nice base mix (Marukyu Big in yhe UK now so I hear from Japan) and spice it up a little, Carp fishing is not popular out here, so getting ingredients is not easy, particles are easy to get and cheap, so I fish a mix.....

No it's common sense considering how much a tackle shop charges for worms. :w

I have an evolving boilie/paste mix in the freezer that is waiting for its next blitz and remake there are about four different home made boiles in it as well as around three shop boughts .
You never know what the fish are going to want but I can garentee they will have had nothing like mine before.

Have two compost bins full of worms. Good night for gathering lobs!

Other than elderberries, when in season, I don't bother these days.
I used to dig my own worms but now prefer to get them from the tackle shop.
Once upon a time, when living in Norway, I used to scrape bloodworm from a couple of ponds that I had close to the house, but soon that little 'edge' was lost in the matches too.
I don't count my days of boilie making as I don't think it qualifies as bait being 'gathered or collected'

I would say 99% of all my bait and feed is homemade. Usually pastes and boilies. Though I can be found with a red light out on the right night worming.
