Are earthworms good or bad for gardens?Earthworms are great for your soil and plants. The more earthworms in your garden, the healthier the soil is. Earthworms till the soil by tunneling through it, which allows the air moisture to pass easily through the soil. Tunnels retain water and also hold air to help bacteria break down the matter within the soil. Earthworms also produce an excrement called “castings” or “vermicompost,” which is a great conditioning treatment for the soil. It helps soils moisture retention, aids in plant growth and fights against diseases and unwanted bugs.
