  There are several incentive-based techniques that can be used to coax animals into unknowingly migrating a pile. Using an elaborate system of weights and measures rigged at the base of the animals food source you can harness the natural desires and strength of an animal to move your piles while you enjoy a spot of shade and an afternoon cocktail, as shown in the image above. There is no correct philosophy regarding the migration process. Some people enjoy working up a sweat with their

muscles, while others may prefer a more elaborate, creative, labor-saving technique as mentioned above.

  There are, of course, simpler methods for utilizing animals in pile migration. By simply placing earth-moving bugs and insects within a small-scale pile of dirt, the natural instincts of the animals will relocate the contents of the pile. Worms, ladybugs and our friend the ant are excellent in this capacity.
