Reading Time - 3 minutes During every season of the year earthworms and other soil dwellers are continuously at work in forests and gardens. The activities of earthworms have a beneficial effect on the physical and chemical properties of the soil. Earthworms are responsible for mixing forest duff the decaying organic matter on the forest floor deeper into the soil. This breaks down the layers of soil and several inches of the hardpan below. Earthworms aerate the soil by their burrowing and they add mucus that holds the fine soil particles together. In the garden earthworms do the same thing they move organic matter from the surface deeper into the soil. They play an essential role in the compost pile where they feed on grass clippings and other plant matter and excrete the indigestible portions as castings which are then eaten by beneficial soil microbes. In this way earthworms accelerate the decomposition of the compost pile and aid in the production of organic fertilizer. Among sports fishers who use a hook and line earthworms are the bait of choice. The most popular bait worms are large night crawlers and the smaller common species known as Lumbricus rubellus. Both kinds of worms are readily available in fishing shops or the old-fashioned way by digging in the back yard. .
