They aerate and their poop is great and I read somewhere that they are responsible for like 90% of the mixing of soil layers. Also, if papa's worm bin is in good enough shape when we are over there for thanksgiving, I will rig up a compost tea maker. I haven't used it myself, but have heard all sorts of wonderful things about it from various sources and plan on getting that going myself around here soon. Also I have been thinking up a controlled experiment on the effectiveness of worm towers, and I only have a small amount of anecdotal evidence regarding their use thus far, but hopefully I'll be able to generate some data on that in the future.<br /><br />DanielDaniel Linsenbardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12667294794573466219noreply@blogger.com
