Pick a good deep flatpronged fork....pick a spot with lots of casts,and start a trench,this time of year they tend to be deep so two forkfulls deep can be necessary,keep digging till you find them,simples....and remember,just take enough for your session and help preserve them

its good to back the fill the trench as well - helps the worms to re-establish themselves again
