Apparently, though I don't know how true this is, the soil carries a very strong 'taste' or aroma of earthworms. It makes sense being as moles do love earthworms. Maybe our own Mole can enlighten us???
I used to use molehill soil & damp lean when matchfishing years ago. Good binders for getting your groundbait down in deep water without overloading the feed content. A certain Belgian ground bait company sold bags of leam through the tackleshops. I used it 50/50 in Brown crumb, or neat when feeding bloodworm.
Quite. The last thing you want to do is to give them a great big stodgy free meal They will be less likely to want to dig out your hookbait then.
