Earthworms

[infernalis]

Another lost art form, a worm fiddle.

Drive a wood dowel rod into the ground, leave about 8 inches showing above the surface, then rub a hardwood plank back and forth over the top of the wood peg.

The resulting vibrations drive worms crazy, they will surface rapidly.

I have used electricity for many things, extracting worms is one of them.

thanks
how deep do you drive the dowel into the ground?
I like that method better, as it doesn't involve long extension chords and it has a slightly lower carbon footprint

Until the first big rock halts it from going any further, and in my part of NY that isn't too far down.

We have also been known to deluge the yard with a fire hose, and then hunt at night

Unfortunately my source creek is nearly dried up, and I will not draw from a stream in that ones condition.

What are the long pink looking worms that bleed when you cut them??

My snakies like those, and I find quite a few out back.

I am fairly certain that's a type of night crawler
the other day one of the ones i cut, did something like that
and one time I thought one of my snakes was bleeding, and it turned out to be the worm

Most of the worms I cut up bleed. The nightcrawlers, and the little pink ones.
I've also almost gone into a panic thinking one of the snakes was hurt!

One could eliminate the "carbon footprint" by charging a battery with a solar cell, and then using an inverter made for camping to power the probes, this also eliminates extension cords, and allows a portable worm trap.
