--THANKS FOR THE INFO, MORE WORMS THE BETTER

Not only are the worms the best thing you could have in your yard, but since
you live in England, be proud. Charles Darwin wrote a book based on his
experiments of earthworms and their castings which is still quoted to this
day. Just be careful as to what chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides,
herbicides, etc.) you apply to your yard. Check with your dealer for safety
regarding the health of the earthworms and you'll enjoy a fine lawn for
years to come.

Wonder what Charles Darwin used for grubs or chinch bug or cut worms?

set off charges of TNT 5 ft below the surface, spaced 10 ft apart.

You can live with them, or you can kill the worms. Of course, the worms
are very beneficial to your lawn.
