RE: Ants In My Worm Farm Post by maree (2) | (05/15/2007) Profile | Contact Hi Anna, The instruction in my "Can-O-Worms" booklet suggests the following. Raise the moisture content. (I splashed water all over the top of mine) Add a liberal quantity of garden lime where they are gathering Smear vaseline around the legs or place each leg in a container of water. I did all three and this solved the problem. (I didn't do vaseline, but put the legs in used dog food containers filled with water. Hope this helps, Maree from Victoria, Australia RE: Ants In My Worm Farm Post by coreenhart (123) | (05/15/2007) Profile | Blog! | Contact Can you get those little round tin containers of ant bait? I bet the worms wouldn't be interested in it, or very few of them would fit anyway. Just a thought. Let me know how it comes out and what solution you try. I'm interested in growing worms, too.
