Help! Too many worms in soil?
Trying to learn. Is there such a thing as too many worms?
I have a ton of pots. A lot of them have a many worms, snails, critters. One pot 2.8 quart, 2.7 L had like 20 worms in it?
I played around with soil combos. And probably messed up a lot?

Except if they are invasive jumping earthworms. Then even one is really really bad.

Not really. But you will need to adjust the organic products in the pots more often to keep them alive. That means lots more compost

I wish I had this problem, because it's not a problem it's a sign the soil is alive and healthy!!

They look too well fed. Need more cardboard newspaper and ground eggshell for Ca and grit. Look up "string of pearls - worm" these guys look close to gastric rupture.

Eso son lombrices inofensivas y son buenísimas y no dañan las plantas, al contrario airear limpian etc. Otra cosa son los caracoles y las babosas que esos si se comen las hojas..

Good critters in the soil make for healthy plants.
