Amazing and easy way of catching worms

[MichaelAngelo]

hahahah!!!

My grandfather stuck that prod in his garden every weekend. Classic!

Anyway I have a hunch about vinegar, since mustard has vinegar in it.

Here's what some googling produced:

Vinegar alone might do the trick.

Also I don't recommend any of this over a garden, just some random patch in the woods should do

Great.......... two experiments (MA = cider vinegar) (Redmire = mustard solution).

Now here's the next ponder:

What's the best home made worm bedding.............. - once you have them?

I seem to recall damp shredded paper and soil was a good combo. Need to check my old Angler's Mails.......

We're going to get to the bottom of this!

And I've read about building a worm farm, apparently the wild worms aren't the fastest growing ones. Apparently "tiger worms" are sold at garden centers and grow faster.

I haven't checked yet.

Man I need to get on this or risk spending $100 on worms this year....

LOL

Has anyone had any experience with fake worms?

I've tried worms side-by-side while sight-fishing panfish and small bass. There's no comparison, real worms far outperform the fake ones.

At least from what I could tell.

That government link states that grass is tolerant of juglone. I was thinking of doing a side by side comparison of walnuts/mustard/vinegar if I have free time

Do it! I currently work the night shift and I need to deal with some school crap in the few hours of daylight I have.

I tried some mustard on Saturday evening and didn't raise any worms. Tried some vinegar, didn't raise any worms.

Today I replicated gramps' electro rod worm shocker. I raised 2 worms . Unfortunately, worms raised in this method aren't too healthy afterwards

My conclusion: the hot and dry weather has driven all the worms too deep to collect.

Did anybody else have worm success? LOL I can't believe I got skunked for worms.
