Do you not have fish and bait shops around? If you just want a handful that
would be an easy way.
Few years ago I was lucky enough to run across a lady that was moving. She
raised rabbits in an old barn with red wiggler beds under the cages. Great
set-up. I was given as many as I could haul off in 5 gal buckets which was
several, only problem after preparing a nice raised bed behind by dog
kennels near my veggie garden and feeding cornmeal keeping moist etc. they
decided they liked the run-off of the hosing down of cement dog runs better
and all left me for better grounds. Now I never see any, so go figure, guess
my acid soil was a little to much for them.;>(
Good luck in your quest.
