Does anyone have experience managing the dreaded jumping worm?  If you're lucky enough never to have seen one, watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke1fQ7Fyaw0.  Skip ahead to the part where they're in motion and then try hard to unsee it.

We've been lucky enough to avoid them, until now.  I just found one, and where there's one, there's about to be an infestation.  Has anyone found food plants that can survive jumping worms, if we manage to unearth and kill what we find on a regular basis?

My experience is kind of goofy with a convenient solution.

Two important things to my story is the use of A. Raised Garden Beds with wood walls and B. Chickens.

I use woodchipped paths between my beds and that has seemed to attracted jumping worms. The worms presence has not been noted in my raised beds (about a foot deep). They however like the area of the edge of the garden bed and the pathway.

At the end of the growing season, I release my chickens in my garden and they dig up the jumping worms greedily. Some folks have had chickens that would ignore the jumping worms but I haven't seen an issue from my flock.

While I have jumping worms, I haven't seen them in unmanageable numbers. I don't do anything to them and they haven't been the obvious reason for any plant issues I am experiencing.

Where are you located? My experience is probably more relative to people who live in the Northeastern United States.
