Page 31 of the DNR manual says you cannot dump worms back in the ground. They must go in the trash.

And where do they put the trash?   :confused:

Just sayin...

The trash is buried at landfills.  SO the worms are back in the ground.

Burned here first....in the big city incinerator. Turned to ash. Never made sense to me, when they (DNR) came out with it some years back, that worms CANNOT be put back into the ground. Half a cup of crawlers?! I made a post of the page from their website that said the worms loosen up the dirt and cause damage....! I'll keep looking for that. It was the dumbest thing I ever heard. I'm no biologist, but come on.......jeez!

Along those same lines, the number of acres of farmland adjacent to forested land is enormous. The number of earthworms in those acres is also enormous. The worms aren't going to know or care whether they're on ag land or not.

As long as they have something to eat.  I heard they like coffee grounds.   :sleazy:

I heard a bunch of ducks tonite, prolly mallards from the sound of things circling the pond below the hill. Still looks frozen from up here.  :confused:

Pet rooster pheasant was picking away out in the backyard tonite before chores. Pretty sure he's established himself a bachelor pad in the plum thicket. As spiny as that stuff is nothing's gonna bother him and his harem in there. Lucky bastage!  :happy1:
