Need help eliminating jumping earthworms

[ss-ashley]

I live in New York zone 6b and two of my raised bed gardens have been infested with jumping earthworms. An invasive species that have been destroying my soil.

I have been physically removing them and this morning I pick out at least 120 of those in just one bed. I am just terrified it's going to spread to my other beds. Surely there is a better way.

Does anyone have experience with them and what do you do? Any advice / ideas would be appreciated.

I have no experience with them myself, but I found some very informative videos;


And this seems a very common way of handling them;

How's it been going @ss-ashley ?

The videos are very helpful. Thank you. FYI, the yellow mustard definitely works.
