I must have picked 100 this morning when I drove the kids to school I thought they where sticks on the road at first. Some monster ones.
For the worm experts out there are the smaller ones just younger or a different type of crawler ??
How do gou manage to get them. My lawn is full of them,only way i manage is to chase the crows and magpies away and steel the ones there pulling out in the rain lol,

Different worms. Small dew worms have the the darker heads. The smaller ones are Soil Dwelling worms, Dew worms are called Deep Burrowing ( Anecic ) worms.
It’s funny one areas o the road has some great big ones. Then all the rest of the street are the small ones. I found a very effective way to quickly pick them as I was getting tires of slimy fingers. Coghlans tent whisk is the ticket. Comes with a small broom and dustpan. Just lightly sweep them into the pan, once the pan is full dump them into you worm bucket. I use a worm box that I got when I was very young its got to be 25 years old or more. It has metal frame that hold the walls and bottom in place but the walls are made from a dense coconut fibre type material. When you soak it in water it hold the moisture for days In the shade. I can’t find them online anyplace, looks like they sell a foam one now.
