SHERWOOD GARDENERS 
“A new, yet old, gardener, is gradually taking 
over the complex task of soil conditioning. That gar- 
dener is the earthworm. In nature, no one has to 
fertilize the woods or meadows. The task is done, in 
most undisturbed soil, by the earthworm. 
Earthworms digest soil, and plant and animal 
remains, then eject pulverized castings which pro- 
vide highly nutritious minerals, vitamins and food 
substances. These castings are in a soluble form, 
ready for plants to absorb and digest. Earthworms 
also aerate the soil; they maintain a crumbled, soft 
soil texture which absorbs rain yet drains off surplus | . 
moisture. : 
Experiments covering many years have proven 
that specially bred garden earthworms are superior 
to most fertilizers. This breed does not migrate be- 
yond a two-foot radius; castings are deposited in bur- 
rows, not on top of the soil out of reach of plant 
roots; the species is a prolific breeder; it tolerates 
winter and summer weather extremes.
