I had read in a few places that worms are good for your soil as the worms produce organic waste and keep the soil "fresh". Also in science class my teacher said something about how they keep the soil loose for air to circulate or something. I was wondering if anyone here has tried this or if this is a good idea. I was thinking that the worms might damage the roots as they are moving. Also, they might die from the fertilizer that I use on the plant.

Any ideas/comments...?

Since no one has responded to this topic (and because I'm an impatient, ignorent dork) I decided to put worms in my soil just to see what would happen. I am using store bought "Live Fishing Bait". I'll let you know how things go...

Howdy Demon53,

In the garden, worms help aerate the soil, and help process nutrients making them more available to the plant. I have read posts from a guy in Australia (I think) who said he did this but he never posted the results. TBH, I can't think of a reason why they would be bad. I have also wondered if the ferts would kill them. I know it may "burn" them if it is strong but I don't know if they will die. Keep the ferts light and they should be ok I imagine.

Let's us know what you find so others don't have to wonder what will happen

I was just reading about this at cannabisculture.com, and found out that wormcasting is the trick!
