The usefulness of earthworms in the garden


 Williams and Pryanishkov - known in his time a few centuries ago soil scientists made a stunning statement about the usefulness and importance of earthworms in our garden. Worms need soil, constantly "researching" our soil, they make the soil more airy, saturate it with oxygen, significantly improving the structure. Earthworms are "plowed" soil, so even a genius, Charles Darwin wrote - "earthworms dug up the earth long before us more qualitative way than the plow." Earthworms are capable of handling the soil, thereby enriching it with minerals to provide the high quality of the land. All that is obtained in the course of the worms, the academic language is called "vermicompost" - organic fertilizer. Soil zoology for many years engaged in research of those who have under their feet.
 We observe the worms from early childhood, these creatures are familiar to everyone. Earthworms are lazy and whimsical, they dig in the soil and lays larvae suggests that the soil quality. In general, where dwells a lot of worms - and the need to plant crops. Remember the example I Ranetki (apples) from its own plantations: You probably noticed that the worm-eaten apple - sweet. The worm will not exist, and consume the fruits of immature in a bad apple.

 It should be noted that many experienced gardeners deliberately grow worms that would then distribute them to the garden and dig in the garden or placed under the trees. Method of growing worms is simple - in the compost, about one meter on a "box" in which to place the worms to reproduce. In the autumn the layers of compost interchange (top from bottom, top and bottom have), then before planting in the spring when the soil is almost ready for our work - compost spread over the garden, especially where they will grow edible culture. In this case, using worms and compost can do once and for all abandon the additional power of the soil, that is, no chemicals! In Russia, even been established network of production facilities for the breeding of worms, though often derived organic fertilizers are used to feed birds and fish, though, it's still one of the utilities that generate worms.
 On the other hand are modern and all sorts of chemicals that can improve soil condition, soil compaction constant, its treatment and violation of the upper soil layer suggests that it may improve fertility in the first years of treatment in the future, this process will lead to the fact that the properties soil will decline. And over time the level of harvest will be reduced significantly, so the artificial "treatment" of the soil as effectively, but the role of worms is invaluable and extremely infinite. If your city (hacienda), there are animals - such as blood or a goat, and so forth, high quality plants for them is very important, and the use of chemicals at the same time lead to negative results, disease or poisoning animals. Everything in our world is interconnected. Nature also made sure that we have grown rich harvest of not applying the foreign funds.
