When is it easy to dig earthworms?

Earthworms live in moist, loose and organic-rich soil. Feed on organic matter in the soil during the day and climb out of the ground at night to feed on fallen leaves on the ground. Late spring and early summer are the best time to collect earthworms, when there are many earthworms and their activities are vigorous. In a day, the morning is the best, when the temperature is moderate, the light is weak, the temperature near the ground is high, and earthworms are mostly concentrated in the upper soil.

There are many ways to collect earthworms, and the following are commonly used.

In the excavation method, a place rich in humus, fertile soil, moist and loose, such as a vegetable garden, is selected and collected with a shovel.

Irrigation method irrigates fields with a large number of earthworms, and earthworms quickly emerge from the soil.

Earthworms like to live in the dark. In late spring, as long as it rains at night, they can pick it up by the field with a flashlight at 3-4 am.

Earthworms like to eat fresh feed by trapping. We pile the fermented feed on the edge of the field with many earthworms, and after 3-5 days, we can open it with a shovel and collect it.
