Is my plan for catching worms going to work?
I want to catch my own worms for something to do and to make some money out of it if possible. My plan is to create a composter in my back yard by putting food scraps underneath the soil I will be getting the worms from. I will wait about a week or two until it is fully composted. I will moisten the soil each day the food scraps are being composted to get worms to come in that area. Now to get the worms I am going to try a few techniques. I am going to try grunting, which involves putting a stick in the ground and rubbing a piece of iron over top. At the same time, my friend will do the twanging technique with the pitchfork, which involves sticking it in the ground and moving it back and forth. Once we get worms, if any, I will store them in a bin that I will bury underground so that you can only see the lid. To keep the raccoons out, I will put a towel over top and secure it with a piece of yarn. Now if I have great success, meaning getting tons of worms per day, I will use half for fishing, and sell the other half. What I want to know is if my plan is going to work.
Tons of worms every day? They don’t multiply quite that fast. You may need quite a big bed to support the sale of worms in any quantity.
If you use the electricity method, go easy on them. They can’t take much voltage.

You could also try shocking them to the surface. Use two metal poles, battery, and jumper cables. Or just try the simple old fashion trick of laying a board on the ground and checking under it now and then.

Lay down a large piece of wood for a week or so but make sure its laying in damp place in the shade .Cover the board with a tarp and after the week check under the board (you may need to dig a little bit to find more worms) and you should have quite a few! to keep them alive I reccomend a box that is Well breathable and to keep them at the temperature of a normal fridge(not a freezer [that will kill them]). Happy hunting!!!
