Re: A Wormy Question!

Goodness sakes---a healthy pasture/lawn/etc ought to be full of
worms---although usually when you are out they are in the ground, doing
their earth-building stuff.   They do come out at night and you just
probably found a regular old earthworm who stayed out too late.   Do you see
little bitty mounds (pencil eraser tip or so) of what looks like ground up
dirt?   Look a little closer and there will be little holes inside of them
where the earthworms have come out----all of this is very good for your
earth.   Sometimes when there has been a lot of rain the ground gets too wet
for them and more come out--for air.   If it is really dry, they burrow
deeper and deeper for moisture.   Your worm was likely a pale pinkish color?
Fatten him up and go fishing--grin.   Claudia
