at the end of a trip. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to keep rag worm for a week or more in the shed? Also where do you buy you rag from shops or internet Paul |

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to keep rag worm for a week or more in the shed? Also where do you buy you rag from shops or internet Paul Best way to keep it is as you buy it, in vermiculite or peat wrapped in newspaper. Put the newspaper packets in plastic bags and store them in the fridge. Should keep for over a week this way. Also a good idea to change the newspaper every few days if you can. Other way is to keep them in sea water with an aerator like you'd find on a fish tank. -- ETV |
