Worms Electric | Does It Work?

https://youtu.be/F5rOOwbK7yQ

When you shuffled your feet at 1:20 I thought you were riding the lightning. I have an Electrical degree. So not safe. Worms from the bait shop are cheaper than major medical bills

Soapy water, a chainsaw running on the ground work for bringing worms up

But I wasn't doing it because it was safe as per all the warnings given throughout the video. And I don't own a chainsaw. As if the chainsaw is safer than the electricity. As if the chainsaw isn't capable of major medical bills. Your recommendation is just as dangerous as what I was doing.

NOTE: I did have my electric hazard boots on.

Check out fiddling for worms on YouTube it works and safer than getting electrocuted.:twocents

Yeah, scat, I have seen those fellows fiddling for worms. In fact I have a big broadfork that'd be perfect for it. I've tried worm grunting, fiddling before but never drew any worms up. I think this electric method exposed why: these are just teeny tiny worms.

Guys! He's wearing rubber gloves and boots, not possible to get shocked he's doing it safely.

Funbun, lay some cardboard down in that fallow garden and put some cornmeal underneath. Those tiny worms will get to fishable size in no time at all.

Thx, perch! I'll have to try that cornmeal method. Maybe they just don't have enough to eat. Probably bury kitchen waste there as well, turn the whole bed into a worm garden of sorts.

Funbun that will get you bigger worms for sure, and increase their numbers. If you can get some rabbit manure bury it in the garden as well. Rabbit manure makes for some huge worms.

Well, what I ought to do is bury all the black soldier fly poop from the summer. That'd be just as good.

Now I know what to do when I clean out the rabbit pen.

Absolutely the best thing that I have ever dug under the rabbit pin ! Worms,worms and more worms !

Need to go home and check out by by mom's chicken coop.

Be careful with chicken poop, it rots and heats up really fast! Put it in your bed after it has been well rotted. Worms love it.

All the other guys, use your rabbit poop for worms after it has been rinsed by rain and or your hose for at least a week. Excess salt in urine can hurt them if not rinsed out.

it can work really well if done right (plenty of youtube videos proving it) but it can be extremely dangerous, especially for DIY'ers without knowledge of how electricity works or how to be safe. I wouldn't consider it if I was you.

I do it all the time.....I have a place that stays semi wet and there are worm there. I use a 8 foot extension cord that has the 2 wires separated for 3 feet. I use tig welding rods for the probes. pacing the rods about 4 feet apart seems to work well where I am but I think thay varies due to the moisture content of the ground. I insert probes and plug shocker into extension cord and stand back to watch.when the worms come out of ground I unplug cord and gather worms.....the worms Im getting are red worms and a few night crawlers. We have fiddle worm on the side of mountain but they are a whole different kind of worm. Just be safe and unplug before picking up worms is my suggestion......everything will kill you if you let it.
