Anyone interested in soils, whether for crop production, forage, or the environment, should see Dr. Elaine Ingham's work. One info-packed synopsis: czcams.com/video/QMvpop6BdBA/video.html Her website: SoilFoodWeb

The problem with earthworms is the removal of the habitat required by the plants that are duff loving and or leaf litter dependant.
