  1. Are you sure it’s worms? Earthworms are not the culprit, they eat dirt and dead leaves. They aerate your garden and the manure they produce, called “worm castings” are sold for $ 1 a pound.

    It is most likely snails that is eating your plants, they prefer live greens. Get the product called “Deadline” and use it according to the directions.

  2. Yeah, I think it’s better to use any natural biological germicide, If you are using artificial one, it will be bad to your soil.
