Would you plug your lawn into the mains? Probably best NOT to try this at home!

My method for worms from the lawn is, dig a garden fork into the lawn 6 inches deep, then begin wiggling the fork back and forth an inch each way. Take a hammer and holding the head, tap the shaft of the fork. The worms just fly out of their burrows. Just select the ones you want Sink the fork in further and more will appear within a 3 ft radius of the shaft. Repeat a couple of yards up, until you have enough. The grass has to be short, or you'll miss most of them. If you don't have a lawn, it works well in parks, golf courses and cricket pitches. This is a day light method. I assume the worms think a mole is burrowing down after them.

It's great being a gardener as I just collect them as I'm doing peoples gardens then pop them in the wormery!

One life, live it, love it, fish it!

Parking my V8 Disco on the desired patch of grass and leaving it on tickover for 10 minutes works a treat.....and it sounds nice!

Eating wild caught fish is good for my health, reduces food miles and keeps me fit trying to catch them........it's my choice to do it, not yours to stop me!
