How can I persuade worms to cast their casts in garden spots other than my
lawns?


Golf courses use a proprietary fluid which is diluted to a specified rate
for a specified area. It is quite expensive for what it does, and usually
preferential for the greens and surrounds etc. Stings a little if in a cut
so possibly acidic.


And golf courses have green keepers who use specialised equipment to aerate
the lawns. And golfers wear shoes with spikes in them to ditto. In the
lawn, the worms are helping to do that job for you and don't even require
payment or feeding!
