Wouldn't that electrocute all the worms, or at least give them bad headaches? |

cloudface: Go look up the definition of "earth" or "ground" as applied to electricity. Now consider that you're sticking your metal plow into the real thing. You won't even get as far as electrocuting those innocent earthworms - the charge will dissipate as fast as you can generate it. You need to tow the device on an insulated cart behind the tractor, and keep shoveling off the accumulated dust. |

Mounting an ion generator near the plow blade should be close enough. |
