Description
Soil improvement, maximum plant growth and soil conservation are all roles of the earthworm. Earthworms improve soil conditions through aeration by burrowing in pursuit of food. They aerate the soil, constantly tilling it and making it more pliable and light, providing channels for easy and deep root growth. This continuous aeration of the soil results in less evaporation and surface runoff, thereby providing for more efficient use of moisture introduced to the soil. The Earthworm's intricate digestive tract makes it possible for them to excrete highly nutritious fertilizer known as castings. Castings are water soluble and immediately available to plant life. Castings do not heat and will not burn plants regardless of the quantity made available to the plant. Earthworms, eggs to adults, are shipped in ventilated containers.
