Yes, they are very bad for the garden because they eat all the organic material and leave your soil sterile. I so hope we don’t get them over here in North Lincoln. The idea of picking our thousands of large worms by hand and killing them in a Paul of vinegar and water sounds absolutely awful.

Join the party Susan! The only strategy at the moment is to have a bucket of water and vinegar - half and half - at the ready, and just toss them in as you see them.. or you can just tiptoe away.. they are everywhere including the woods and fields.. one is hopeful that a solution will be found,  people are working around the clock..but not yet….  Chickens won’t go near them and haven’t seen birds go after them as well.. moles  will eat them I’m told. 
There’s always something…. Good luck! Robin

Admit I should be punished for not tending to my garden for months - until this morning.
There were lots lots and lots of very large worms….
I am clear how to kill them but not how to catch them… is it easier to pot the plants and give the worms the garden??!!
Very disgusting….
Thoughts are welcome.
