Earthworms are the workers of the soil and are sometimes called nature’s plow. Their job is very important for the quality of soil and also decomposition. Many of you will think the more earthworms there are the healthier the soil however this isn’t always the case. But as organic vegetable gardeners we encourage an abundance of earthworms in our garden to help maintain healthy soil to grow better vegetables in.
