Mason, UR--a wormy situation

 So I have done some research on what worms do for the environment and it turns out that when they go into the soil to burrow they also make these holes that provides water and carbon dioxide to enter into the deeper parts of the soil. They also make these cast things, I think it is their poop but don't know for sure now that fertilize the soil. They get the nutrients from the organic waste by eating it and then making the cast. I also found out that when you put fertilizer on soil with worms in it can kill the worms. It makes the soil acidic and kills them. I will try to keep you guys up to date.
