| Earth worms are a benefit to the soil. They do not damage or eat your seeds. They eat bacteria and fungi that are consuming vegetative matter in the soil. In return they leave their castings which becomes some of the best plant nutrients. Their movement in the soil also helps provide spaces for air and water. Al |

| Earthworms gives a good benefit to your plant like converting organic materials into nutrients that plants can absorb. They loosen the soil which makes the roots easier to grow and the air and water circulates in the soil. |
