This could almost go in the farm income forum, but it just seemed to fit better here.

It's a Huffington Post article and video on worm grunting. A method of luring earthworms out of the soil to sell them for fishing.

Oh, I should probably include my friend Betsy's blog, a wetlands biologist who provided the worm grunting link in her blog post about invasive earthworms. It's a quick summary of how too many earthworms are a problem in some areas.

And Betsy has that quiet, quirky, life-is-weird-and-wonderful kind of humor, too.
