Why worms?

Updated: Apr 29, 2022

Worms play an important part in your garden. But, why are worms so important to growing and preserving life on our planet?

The simple answer: they dig holes that help air and water get into the soil and their 💩 helps fertilize and add nutrients to the soil.


Attracting Worms to your Garden

If you want to attract worms to your garden here are some tips:

  • Avoid using chemicals

  • Don't till your soil too much. Keep the nutrients on top.
