Worms – Control
Q: My daughter just bought a house in Charleston and said that she has mounds of worms in her back yard. Your website says to only use water. Is that all we can do?
A: Because worms are so beneficial to the soil, I think it is counterproductive to try to control them. Dragging a piece of carpet or chain link fence on a rope behind you will knock down the mounds.
