Ever cool! Now I need to find whole walnuts . I'm wondering if there's a substitute, maybe anything that irritates the worms.

I've tried worm grunting earlier this year to no avail:

I've spent over $30 on worms this year! Gotta find a way to get 'em myself!

I've heard - but never tried - that plain yellow mustard in water has a similar effect to that of walnut husk fluids.

My grandfather has always used a worm shocker. A metal rod connected to an extension chord. He wets the ground and sticks it in. I think he insulates one wire and wraps the other around the metal rod.

I better make triple sure of that before I try though

"Black walnut and butternut produce the largest quantity of juglone and can cause toxic reactions with a number of other plant species that grow in their vicinity."

I wouldn't pour any of that on my lawn!!

I nominate this thread "sounded like a good idea at the time....officer" thread of 2012

Well if the walnut juglone and mustard juice dont get'em the 120vac will toast their cookies before we impale them on a hook.

LOL, I'm pretty sure electrocuting your garden is not a good idea......

wassamadder - don't cha like popcorn

Now the mustard idea is worth a try:
