Charmer Worm Breeding Farm

Charmer worm breeding farms employ vibrations and at times music to bring earthworms to the surface of the soil. They are then collected and sold as bait to fishermen. The excreta of the earthworms is an excellent fertilizer. Also earthworms are the best ecologically conscious waste disposal systems. They are easily grown in bins, barrels, washtubs and wooden or concrete enclosures.

The red hybrid earthworm is the best worm for farming because it easily and quickly adapts to changing climatic and environmental conditions. It is also strong and energetic, does not wriggle off the fishing hook and attracts fishes with its robust red skin color. Arranging for the feed for earthworms is relatively simpler and easy when compared to feeds for other livestock. Earthworms thrive on easily available organic material like animal waste, decaying plants and kitchen waste.

Charming

Charming involves inserting a wooden 'stake' to a maximum depth of one meter into semi-moist ground. Then a dull saw is dragged along the top surface of the stake vibrating it in the process, which subsequently bring the worms to the soil surface. The exact reason as to why these vibrations have this effect is a debated issue. One explanation is that the worms presume the vibrations to be a predator mole's intrusion and move to the surface to escape it. Another possibility is that the worms consider the vibrations to be raindrops and move to the surface to avoid drowning.

Similar activities to charming involve different techniques and setups but rely on the same basic principal of generating vibrations. "Worm grunting" is a process in which a 'stob' is used instead of a 'stake' and an iron ruler is rubbed against it causing the friction to produce vibrations. Tap dancing and meditation are the other inventive ways of drawing out the worms.

An interesting application of the worm charming process has been implemented in Great Britain. Irish Potatoes, popular all over the planet have very delicate skins and get damaged when they are dug out. Using soothing music and mild vibrations, farmers attempt to agitate and energize earthworms which lead to their increased movement. This in turn loosens the soil around the potatoes allowing its cultivators to safely lift them out.

Thus earthworm farming is valuable, practically profitable and not overtly time consuming. It also doesn't need constant attention and earthworms multiply rapidly which implies quick returns on investments.
