It's also really easy to gut-load earthworms with additional vitamins and clean their system of dirt before feeding.

This is how I feed my fish, I also add veggies to the diet of my Omnivores (JD, GT, & convict)
You can just put them in a damp paper towel in the fridge for a couple days before feeding if you want them to void their intestinal tract.
If you really want to get hardcore you can let them roam around in a bowl of cold oatmeal that has had liquid vitamins added to it.
Honestly, I pull them out of the garden, rinse them off and toss them in. Usually a day or so before my water change.

I usually wait until it rains really good, then go out to the garden at night if the ground is still really wet. I then take a flashlight and you can see them laying out on top of the soil. I usually end up with about 25 to 40. I put them in the fridge and feed to my fish about once a week.
It's nice living in the Pacific Northwest it rains a lot here.
