#worm charmer out today surveying #soil #health (with assistants), super interested after Jackie Stroud book (Under Your Feet) for #christmas from Penelope J Bossom

It was curious to find frozen earthworms in middens this morning. It quickly defrosted in my hand & wriggled back into the soil.

Stunning day in Salisbury to be midden surveying - there has been lots of worm activity with 10-15 middens per m2

Heaps of anecic worm activity in min-till continuous wheat and lovely views when I remember to stop staring at the ground measuring worms!

Finding eyespot on straw in lumbricus terrestris middens. Anyone else spotting plant pathogen presence? Earthworms thought to prefer fusarium infected straw

Setting up a nice little earthworm experiment Uni of Nottingham #WeAreUoN today to better understand midden building behaviours

“Monitoring beneficials is as important as pest populations” - great insights about conservation biocontrol from Sam Cook BASE-UK

I never knew this about the history of earthworms! Richard Bardgett is sharing his soil biodiversity knowledge BASE-UK

Thrilled to be @RHSWisely with a bucket of earthworms and a reading of Under Your Feet for families this half term #earthworms #soils

#Earthworms are great for #soil. Working with Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research, researchers at SRUC and Uni of Nottingham #WeAreUoN have studied how worms munch their way through disease-infected residues (#biocontrol). See their video and our article for info. bit.ly/3QsYrJf
