Backyard Worms
Worms are a farmer’s best friend - they improve drainage, soil structure and productivity by increasing the amount of air and water that gets into the soil4 . They break down organic matter to improve nutrient availability for plants to consume, and when they eat, the castings they leave behind provide a nutrient rich fertilizer.
