Worms are great for the garden!They help breakdown compost and help aerate the dirt around your plants.
After a rain storm, take a walk around your neiborhood. Worms are usually on sidewalks and walkways. Take a small container with you and gather all the worms you see along the walk. Bring them home and add them to your garden or compost pile. Let them do some of the work in the garden.
This is also fun if you have little ones. They love bugs and worms. My youngest always wants to go out for walks after it rains. She knows its worm collecting time. She also likes to share some of the worms with the chickens and they love her for it!
Happy Gardening!
