“That 6” of rain did me right. Soil is perfectly workable all through the tunnel. Seen some wormies.”

I always feel bad if I accidentally harm any Earthworms or Red Wigglers when I’m planting in my beds. :(

Night Crawlers, though? THOSE are BAIT! Lots of fun Summer Friday Nights with the boys and flashlights, ‘harvesting’ those MONSTERS for fishing on the weekend. ;)

Do you have Night Crawlers down south, or is that a Yankee Thang? I really don’t know!

Earthworms regenerate the part that’s cut, if they’re accidentally cut into when we garden. It doesn’t make 2 earthworms, but if the head is intact, it will regrow its tail. I don’t know about Red Wigglers.

I just worry that there might not be many and that I just killed a good percentage of them.
