Add worms to your garden beds.

Improve Garden Soil With worms

Adding earthworms to your soil has many benefits:
  • They help aerate the soil by burrowing
  • They improve drainage in hardpan soil by burrowing
  • They improve soil fertility by depositing castings
  • They break down organic material

Want to know how many worms it takes to inoculate your garden or lawn soil?

Number of earthworms to INOCULATION

For soil improvement requires 10-12 earthworms per square foot;  or, 1 pound earthworms per 1000 square foot.  So, measure your garden area's length and width; multiply one by the other to get your square footage; multiply this figure by 10-12 (just make it 11).  FYI: our European Nightcrawlers are fully matured bait sized worms and there are 250-300 of these worms per pound.
