'Jane',

You are fortunate to have worms in your lawn as they are great aerators
of the soil and there is nothing you can do about the casts appearing.

You need a birch besom similar to the one in this site
http://www.and1e.freeserve.co.uk/ and it will enable you to scatter the
casts, preferably on a dry day, by using it with a swinging|sweeping
action. It is also a good tool for clearing your lawn of leaves and
other debris.

Regards,
Emrys Davies.

The grass in my smallish back garden is covered in wormcasts. Can
anyone
suggest how to get rid of them (especially when incessant rain keeps
them
wet) and in particular how to stop new ones appearing all the time?
