The hardest part is keeping the worms alive for any period of time. I put them in a coffee can with some dirt, but they always seem die and rot in a day or two. The smell when I open the can is awful.

I find that the ones grabbed off of pavement after a rain storm die quickly. My guess is that they've absorbed too much water.
