Im not a fan so how should I kill them Maybe it's worth explaining a bit here, mh4s; though I don't know if uk.rec.gardening messages all get through to GardenBanter. People often think of soil as just "stuff"; but in fact it's a complex biological _system_. If we take out one of the parts of the system, it won't work properly. Earthworms work for the lawn by eating dead grass blades, and by drilling millions of holes to promote drainage and oxygenation -- if they aren't doing that, then we may need to bring in aerating machinery. They also tempt birds into the garden, which is good news, too. It's usually easier to get out there with a witches' broom occasionally than have the hassle of regularly spraying with a worm killer, and hiring and operating an aerator every so often. Works better, too. Enjoy your lawn. If you still want to try to kill them off, the garden centre should be able to offer something, though I know the old-fashioned poisons are too dangerous to be sold any more. -- Mike. |
