Hi Melinda,

Here's an informative web page about worms and the soil:

http://maine.maine.edu/~thomascb/earthworm.html

This next one is not a joke and should be a hobby to everyone - worm
calling.  It uses the "worm grunt" which is actually driving a stake
in the ground and stroking it with a slotted stick.  Be the first to
check it out at:

http://www.pioneerpc.com/wildernessway/Pages/worm.htm

Here is the URL for the worm FAQ with lots of worm links:

http://res.agr.ca/PUB/lond/pmrc/faq/earthwor.html

I have major wormage in the garden so we'll see how the pepper plants
do!

Hope all this helps.

"I started to notice my earthworm characteristics a long time ago. At
first I attributed them to psychotic human behavior, but now I
understand them to be normal "night crawler" functions."
