![]() Your resultsThe data you have submitted demonstrates that the highest density of earthworms was in lawns, probably because they are less disturbed by digging. However there were also high densities of earthworms in vegetable beds. These are regularly dug over and contain a high degree of nutrients, including organic matter. This is great news for families and gardeners who manage a vegetable patch and dig in organic matter such as well-rotted manure, compost, leaf-mould, or compost bark.
