I try and buy around 25,000 worms a year. I spread them over about 80 acres a year. That amount seems about right for that size of a field, but a person could probably do alot more, im not sure. Look up: Jims worm farm online. Thats where i get my worms. Hope that helps.

This might be a stupid question, but how do you spread the worms?

I don't have a precise way to spread worms, I just drive across the field on the four-wheeler, dropping a handful at a time and let them do the rest.
