Fellow at work here was telling me they used to pour some sort of liquid (he didn't remember what it was - I'll followup - if he can ask his dad/bros) and then they'd take a car-battery and push electrodes into the ground, and that would drive them out. Could have been some sort of electrolyte (salt) solution - to allow the current to flow.
I have leaves as mulch on a garden plot. Moving the leaves aside, and digging down gets into tons of worms, especially as it's been SO wet!
I like the worm-stick idea. I'll have to get my boy to try that in the garden! My daughter was even getting into finding worms with me as we planted the garden. Long as she had her gloves on!
Saw a show about worm-farming. Said if you put them in peat - it irritates their skin, so they work really hard to break it down, and hence - fattens them up quick. Haven't tried it, but mean to - many of the wrigglers we find are mid-sized. Believe they're happiest around 40 degrees or so.
