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

Paintbrush. Container of bleach. Dip brush in bleach and fling on the
ground.

Earthworms come bubbling up by the hundreds (well, dozens).

For fishing, I'd get a breeding stock of some of the humongous worms.
Introduce them to an organic rich environment, and wait 'til they had baby
worms.

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

Never heard of using bleach.

I was adding worms to the lawn, where years earlier, Chemlawn reduced the
worm population tin the neighborhood to almost zero.

Earthworm production was a major Ponsi scheme over here a few years
back.

They are hermaphrodites. They produce external egg pouches.

We would go down to the park or golf coarse jes before dawn after a
night when they'd run the sprinler system and collect night crawlers
on the surface. Had no special name for it other than "gettin' some
worms".

They "tie the knot"; so to speak. Every other worm is a potential

"all" can be represented as the number 1 (100%). The amount of dirt in a
hole by 0 (none). Therefore, "all the dirt in the hole" is 1 * 0.

"All of it" = 0.

Both "all of it" and "none" are correct answers.

"All of it" is not a correct answer if left by itself.

Multiplying anything by 0 will equal 0 but who (in their right mind)
would answer a "how many" or "how much" or "how often" question by
choosing some random amount and then multiplying it by 0 to get
"None"?

Bottom line: There is no dirt in a hole.

Now, does anyone know why I responded to notbob's suggestion with that
question?

For sure. My Army drill instructor caught a guy chewing gum. He told
him to bury it in the ground only using his hands.. The guy dug a hole
past his wrist, nope not deep enough. Up to the elbow, nope not deep
enough. Finally at shoulder deep he was allowed to bury the chewing
gum even with dirt in the bottom. The hole could not be wider than
his arm. Even though dirt was still in the bottom.

Hole:

1. A hollowed place in something solid; a cavity or pit

Hollow:

3. A void; an emptiness

The dirt at the bottom is not in the hole any more than the dirt on the
sides is.

If you don't remove the dirt, you haven't dug a hole.

No dirt came out of the hole in my shirt either. No dirt came out of the
hole in the bread I just baked. No dirt came out of the hole I drilled in
that board.

Of course, those holes are no more relevant to this discussion than the
hole in the ozone.
