My uncle was telling me the other day that if you soak the shell coating from walnuts in water and then dump the water on the ground, night crawlers will immediately come to the surface.

Anybody heard of this or tried it??

Yes they will be the tannings of the walnut are poisonus to worms and will kill them, they need to be washed off asap or they will die.

Thanks, I didn't know it will kill them.
Kind of a neat trick, I'll have to try it next time I am ready to go fishing.

You can do the same thing with a bucket of soapy dish water and it doesnt take as long and wont kill the worms.

The squeezings out of walnut hulls is good for mange and ear mites. It kills them.
