Earthworm
Earthworm
Worms feed on organic material, break it down and then expel it as worm castings. The castings are in the form of tiny pellets which are coated with a gel. This crumb-like structure helps improve soil drainage and aeration. Worms are constantly tunnelling which also helps ventilate compost and soil and enables water, nutrients and oxygen to filter down. The organic matter also undergoes chemical changes in the process. This makes the nutrients more readily accessible to plant roots.
