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. 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.

Never heard of using bleach.

"... A more self-reliant sportsman or sportswoman, however, will seek
out his own bait in a more traditional way, by "fiddling," "snoring,"
or "doodling" up the slimy creatures from their deep and dark hiding

procedure which induces earthworms to mysteriously appear above ground
as if by magic."

The link I gave above shows how to make a container for a worm farm.

They are hermaphrodites. They produce external egg pouches.

They "tie the knot"; so to speak. Every other worm is a potential
partner. (a little wine and some jazz maybe)

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".

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

"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.

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.
