I have always been fascinated with earthworms, since I was a child. I did not have a garden until I was in my 30's, and we composted all of our vegetable matter. The soil was always filled with these wonderful "little tillers." After heavy rains we would find them on our driveway and I always picked them up (still do in my 70's) and place them back in the garden, on areas with perennial beds, or on the grass. I feel I am doing my part for nature and allowing these fabulous annelids to work another day.
