LOL, that is definitely a "keeper" worm, Wayne!

I totally agree -- over the years we've added a LOT of grass clippings and leaves to the garden -- I use it to mulch during the gardening season, and then till it in, usually once late in the fall and then again early in the spring -- although last year the ground was just too wet and I never did get it tilled, and everything just kind of disappeared anyway. Lots and lots of worms now, where we originally had basically none; I love seeing those guys up on top of the ground on a wet early morning -- we have some really huge nightcrawlers, I could probably sell them to the local fishermen but would rather leave them to work up the garden for me!
