Hey everyone! This week, I'm diving deep into the world of worms and their role in rewilding. You know, not everything that contributes to biodiversity is cute or cuddly—some creatures just wiggle! I've always found worms a bit creepy, but they really are some of nature's hardest workers. If you've ever noticed a pink, squirming tube when digging in your garden, you've encountered one of these unsung heroes. I think they deserve more recognition for their contributions! I'd love to hear how you keep your soil friendly for these little guys—any tips, like no-dig methods or worm mishaps? Cheers, Greg (Myst~Tree Honey & Rewilding Rainford)

Did you know there are actually no native earthworms in New England? They're all introduced species! It's pretty wild when you think about it—each region has its own worm story!
I think it's amazing how people view worms differently. Where I'm at, we have some seriously stinky ones that tend to mess up the forest floor, but I guess they all play their part!
Honestly, I was surprised to hear people call worms 'unsung heroes.' At least on the West Coast of the US, everyone knows worms are key for healthy soil. Even folks who find them gross understand they’re essential for a thriving garden!
Exactly! We know worms are great for soil health, but I didn't even realize there were different species until I did some digging (pun intended) for my own garden!
That's so eye-opening! I’m from the UK, and we have a ton of native worms here. It’s fascinating how ecosystems can differ.
