   • Uncover leaves using a broom to expose the dirt.
   • Ensure the spot is clear and other insects may indicate a good spot.
3. Pour Soapy Water:
   • Pour the soapy water onto the exposed dirt.
   • Ensure it soaks deep into the ground.
4. Collect Worms:
   • Worms will start to surface almost instantly.
   • Be quick to grab them as they can slip back into the ground.
   • Wait for larger worms to surface as they take longer.

Cleaning and Storing Worms

• Wash Off Soap:
  • Pour worms onto a paper towel to remove excess soap.
  • Transfer them to a container with moist dirt.
  • Lightly mist them with water.
• Storage:
  • Ensure the container has a lot of holes for ventilation.
