Worms
 

Is there any product I can use to move worms from my lawn? I've called at
two garden centres but cannot find anything on the shelves for this problem.

A heavy mulch of concrete or paving slabs?




Sorry for being facetious; most people try to encourage them.

worms are wonderful chappies, move your lawn instead

We're gardeners.
We like worms.
Worms are our friends.

I suspect you want to get rid of worm casts on the lawn, the usual way is
brush them away before mowing, or if the lawn is huge, get a length of
hosepipe and snake it about to break up the casts before mowing.

Worms are *good* for your lawn. Why on earth would you want to get rid of
them????

You *really* don't want to do that. Maybe a little research on how good
worms are for a garden will interest you. Soil without worms is not a happy
idea.

Nothing available for amateurs and I wouldn't use of the ones I can
get as a pro. Much better just to brush off the casts and appreciate
the beneficial effects the worms are having. There are only a handful
of casting species and the problem is, the chemicals are all broad
spectrum materials that kill the non casting species and a whole lot
of other stuff as well.

PLEASE think again! Without worms your lawn would become a solid
festering mess.

As somebody's already said, just brush out the casts; and be thankful
you've got them. Start tinkering with your soil organisms, and you'll
have nothing but trouble: the ecology of soil is what keeps us all
alive.

Absolutely spot on, Mike!. Leave those worms strictly alone, Bill!.
I can quote two high-class lawns I grew. One a fifty-fifty mixture of
New-Zealand Brown Top and N.Z. Fescue, -- the other a sea-washed-turf
lawn.
I swept up half a bucket full of worms which was the total from the two
lawns. A week or two later the Sea-Washed turf was a brown slushy mess
and the N.Z-mix lawn failed just as badly.
Worms are you best friend, so use - as Mike says, a slow pressure hose
and a besom brush or other type of brush which you can go "swish swish"
from side to side.
This is standard practise on professional golf greens, but they make
ther own swishers out of thin-slit-cane bunches tied on the end of a
thick cane handle.

A Minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to
his
Sunday sermon. Four worms were placed into four separate jars.

The first worm was put into a jar of alcohol. The second worm was put
into a
jar of cigarette smoke. The third worm was put into a jar of sperm.
The
fourth worm was put into a jar of good, clean soil. At the conclusion
of the
sermon, the Minister reported the following results:

The first worm in alcohol - dead.

Second worm in cigarette smoke - dead.

Third worm in sperm - dead.

Fourth worm in good, clean soil - Alive So the Minister asked the
congregation - "What can you learn from this demonstration?

A little old woman in the back quickly raised her hand and said, "As
long as
you drink, smoke and have sex, you won't have worms."

I'll get my coat ...

Of course the important question from all this is, What on earth was a
minister doing with a jar of sperm?
