Anyone intentionally produce earthworms in their garden or flower beds? I
want to start a bunch for fishing, and was just wondering.


Dig a hole, not removiing any earth, jes turn it.


How much dirt is there in a hole that measures 1' x 1' x1'?

Begin emptying
things like coffee grounds, egg shells, apple peels, etc. Basically
the stuff you'd usually put down the sink diposal. Keep turning the
earth once or twice a month or after a layer of wet garbage builds up.
You'll get worms. To get 'em out for fishing, heavily soak the dirt
overnight. The worms will rise by morning. Or, put an electric worm
rod in the ground. That'll get 'em up and out tout de suite, or at
least as fast as worms can go.
