Earthworms (Lumbricus Rubellus) play an important role in soil improvement, maximum plant growth and soil conservation. Earthworms improve soil conditions through aeration by burrowing in pursuit of food. They aerate the soil, constantly tilling it and making it more pliable and light, providing channels for easy and deep root growth. This continuous aeration of the soil results in less evaporation and surface runoff, thereby providing for more efficient use of moisture introduced to the soil. Earthworms are a must for organic gardening.
The Earthworm's intricate digestive tract makes it possible for them to excrete highly nutritious fertilizer known as castings. Castings are water soluble and
immediately available to plant life. Castings do not heat and will not burn plants regardless of the quantity made available to the plant.
Earthworms can be used in gardens, lawns, planters, compost piles and worm bins.
