mmgg 26 Report post Posted February 25, 2022 I can't say I have noticed any difference in the forest or forest floor where I have picked worms before over the last 30 yrs They do help aerate in my back yard where the deep layers are hard pan clay though; probably helping rain water absorption. We should probably pick those wild worms and go fishing to save the planet . Share the GPS coordinates of worm infested areas you are concerned about.
