> For more about worms, check out http://www.nrri.umn.edu/worms/ Thanks Harvey, I knew our local earthworms were imported from Europe but the following facts caught be by surprise: 1. Hardwood forests generally do not benefit from earthworms. 2. Earthworms do not spread significantly on their own, it is people that move them around. As for this area, it is mostly conifer forest and the Worms have been here for a long time. Plus the red compost worms do not present any danger to the existing ecosystems. I've heard we now have a earthworm predator running rampant here in the USA. Another worm i believe. Anyone know more about this? jeff
