I remember as a kid back in the 50's you used to see signs all over the place stating: 'Nightcrawlers 15 cents per doz'. Then they went up to 25 cents. There was always people selling them along Parleys Way on the way up the canyon. And always 4 or 5 places in Heber that had signs selling worms. Now you can only find them in certain places.
My dad had a small beer keg that he cut and made a lid on it. He buried it in the garden with just the lid showing and kept the worms in it. It had peet and shagum moss in it. He used to put coffee grounds and other table scraps in it to feed them. I did all the catching after he watered the lawn in the evening.
