Yeah funny thing that - I always thought the little piles of dirt were worm
castings, but as I say I have heaps of worms (compost and larger deeper
digging natives) in the garden and in the lawn at my current place, but
never see those mounds, whereas my previous place the worm supply was very
sparse, but I had heaps of little mounds. Maybe it is only some of the deep
burrowing kinds that do that.

But I think your original question was about eggs in the dirt mounds - I
can't imagine that the deep burrowing worms would lay their eggs on the
surface - but stranger things happen
Cheers,
Geoff

breeding ground and they migrate from there to the garden. Whilst my
garden is full of worms, I never see those little mounds of dirt that you
mention and are common on lawns. Maybe the garden soil is nice and loose
so the worms don't have to break the surface to get a good air supply ??

Hello Geoff and Heather,

I'm not referring to compost worms that stay at the top- I'm referring to
earthworms that burrow deep into the ground.

I've got plenty of the former...
