@EarthwormWatch Survey

We chose our no-dig raised veg beds and a flowerbed as sites of different garden management for the Plot57b @EarthwormWatch survey.

We felt a little guilty for hauling out these unsuspecting critters on a cold, soggy morning; the deeper dwelling earthworms promptly removed themselves to depths deeper than the 10cm control depth of the pit. We are interested to find out how the numbers of our earthworms population compare to other gardens and national baselines.

05/04/16 Update: It is now possible to survey your garden or allotment worms for the Earthworm Watch citizen science project.
