I forgot this one for the FAQ:

Q: Are earthworms bad for bonsai?

A: Earthworms are beneficial organisms that improve soil properties.
However, earthworm "castings" tend to be too heavy for bonsai, and
could lead to waterlogging. Therefore, worms should be escorted out
of the bonsai pot. The real question, however, is how the earthworms
managed to survive in the bonsai pot at all; a well-draining mix is
too dry to support earthworms. You need to check that your soil
isn't already too heavy.
