How Charming!  Last weekend we had some visitors from Seattle who were interested in our worms.  Madison and Kathleen made the trek from Seattle in order to test out the method of 'charming' in an effort to try and locate one of our elusive and rare Giant Palouse earthworms. 



Charming is a technique that sends vibrations into the ground and causes worms to come to the surface.  Armed with their equipment we all hiked up on the Ridge and tried to find some worms. 

       

Unfortuantely we did not find and Giant Palouse earthworms, but we all learned a lot and look forward to trying again on a nice warm day.
