They don't eat dirt, like many people believe. All earthworms eat decaying plant and animal matter, and they usually swallow some soil with it. They soil, however, passes right through and exits as castings. The decaying matter is what earthworms actually need for nutrients and energy.

Mostly from agriculture, in particular farmers ploughing up their fields, killing some Earthworms that are too close to the surface.
