Earthworms

摘要

Earthworms, and above all their casts, are a long suffered problem of greenkeepers and groundsmen alike. In particular, these casts are very undesirable in fine turf situations such as bowling greens, golf greens or cricket tables where accurate ballroll or bounce is particularly important. With the ongoing depletion of worm control chemicals, coupled with the ever milder and wetter weather conditions experienced in recent years, these pests appear to be on the rise. I think it is time therefore toremind ourselves of the problems these creatures cause and ensure we are doing all we can to limit their progress.
