Worm Pic for previous post


The common earthworm variety doing a stellar job of adding nutrients to the soil. Why do they always come out on sidewalks and driveways after a rain? Would they drown underground?

I've always thought of them as bait for fishing. On a rainy night I would go into the yard with a flashlight and bucket and collect loads of them. Alas, I stopped fishing 10 years ago. Too restrictive in Germany, so the worms are safe. Saw your post on Erica's site and thought I would stop by.

I'm with Steve. I see this as a nice pile of fish bait. I love them in my garden, too. They're so good for the soil.

I hate walking the dark after a rain, for fear of stepping on the squishy things.

Are you feeling any better about worms?

Steve G and SW- just the thought of bait had me gagging. I have tried. The mucus and writhing...oh no!

Flood- not really. I understand they have a role to play, but I don't want to get too friendly.
