How can I get rid of earth worms?
Question:They are making my yard so rough it is hard to push a lawn mower.
Answers:
By throwing bread in your yard for the Birds, and the birds will get the worms too.
that is weird you must have ALOT of worms
you shouldnt get rid of earth worms or you soil qualtity will go down hill and you woant have a lawn, but hard dusty soil, a desert if u will.
start throwing bird seed down when the birds come to eat the seed they'll also pick up a few worms ticks grubs anything that could be causing the lawn problems
Earth worms can't be making your yard as rough as you're describing. Are you sure you don't have moles? They make tunnels and hills that make the lawn lumpy.
Most likely night crawlers, earthworms do not break the surface unless it is extremely wet.
Talk to someone at your garden supply for possible solutions.
I DIDN'T KNOW EARTH WORMS CAN DO THAT. TRY USING SALT ON YOUR LAWN OR LYME POWDER. THE LYME POWDER IS GREAT FOR SNAKES CAUSE IT BURNS THEIR SKIN AND GETS INTO THEIR EYES. MAYBE YOU CAN TRY IT FOR WORMS.
the worms making a mountian??
worms are great for the lawn
some birds can help u get rid of these earth worms.
But the presence of these worms means ur soil quality is good.
Earth worms are NOT making those holes. There is no way a earth worm can make your yard so rough that you cant push your mower. Maybe its a gopher or moles. You dont want to get rid of earth worms they are very helpful in our environment. They are not the ones harming your yard.
Send them to me! You must have a super fertile yard.
If there are as many as you are suggesting then all I see is $$$
Time to start selling worms to anyone and everyone. Are you a fisherman?
I don't know how you can ship these kind of things but I would love to buy some to help break up the nasty clay in my flowerbeds.
Why would you want to do that? I think you are having a mole problem instead of a worm problem. Earthworms are actually good for you lawn and garden because they keep the soil turned, in other words, are nature's way of aerating. Plus their waste is very good for your soil and grass. Keep your worms and make sure you don't have moles. They make big ruts in your yard and when you step on them they sink. I don't have a suggestion on them but remember you can't go fishing with a mole! Good luck!
I'm not so sure that you can as long as you have earth (smile). They live there and do some good things to your soil. My 6-year says so. She learned in kindergarten this year. You could try hiring someone else to mow you lawn so that you don't have to deal with the worm. My mother was born and raised in Georgia and she is so afraid of worms- image that. She moved to urban Pennsylvania - a long way to get away from the worms. Good Luck - just remember - worms are eco-friendly.
