A good question if your lawn gets a lot of shade. I have the same
problem. Indeed, you have to let them dry out some before you can
sweep 'em successfully. Tricky in high-dew days of autumn.

The RHS "Encyclopedia Of Gardnening" says

* The casts NEED to be removed since they provide a site for airborne
weed-seeds to germinate in.
* "Disperse by brushing. If numerous, apply carbaryl when the soil is
warm & damp"

You rest your case.

As I said in a previous reply..... the traditional fertilizer/weed treatment
Lawn Sand acts to acidify the to layer of soil and thus discourages worm
action. In practice this only affects the very top layers of the soil and
worm action in the bulk is not affected. So despite all the hectoring pro
worm posts, adopting the old fashioned approach will give you a worm-cast
free lawn but will not kill the worms.

Hi There
I am new to worm farming and i didnt know where to start but just wanted to give it a go. So thought i would have a search around the internet to see what info was available and couldnt really find much! However i did find a really great book to download which was incredibly informative and really easy to read. Now I am so excited as i have a better understanding as a complete novice and i highly recommend it to anyone starting out.
I found it under this website: Beginners Guide to Starting a Worm Farm

would appreciate any further advice from anyone.

I have a lovely lawn but this time of year I get a big problem with worm casts.[/quote]

I would use 1 litre bottle of Castclear from The Lawn Specialist ( lawnspecialist.co.uk or castclear.com ) to get rid of the worms because it doesn't actually kill lawn worms, it just stops them coming to the surface and creating worm casts all over the lawn.

Recent EU Regs have banned the use of powerful chemicals that kill worms in agriculture so there's not much around really,
