HOW TO RESPECT and PROTECT EARTHWORMS
Don’t keep digging up your garden, think about other ways of weeding and planting, such as no-dig gardening methods. Use compost and manure in your garden. Don’t remove organic matter from your soil’s surface, this helps with temperature control (rather add leaf litter and other organic matter). Stop using chemicals. Repeat, stop using chemicals.
