worms and lawns
In message , Janet Tweedy
writes I know the chemicals that you once could use to discourage worm casts have now been 'struck off' but is there nay other way that you can deter them? I have to cut a very large lawn and there's an immense amount of womcasts on the surface at the moment. Funnily enough the front lawn which i scarified way back in the spring has few cats on it but the back looks terrible with splodges of squashed soil all over it and which are now killing the grass in patches. Yes i know that worms are good esp3cially the ones in the compost but just wanted to know if you have found anything that deters them from the surface of lawns/ Janet Not a direct answer, but there is a bowling green behind our houses, and the greenkeeper[1] used to have a long, whippy flexible cane which he swiped back and forth across the green to remove worm casts. It scattered them rather than leave blotches where they had been trodden down. Have you got a whip? [1] Way back when they had a permanent park keeper. -- Gordon H Remove "invalid" to reply |
