New research led by @SRUC has found middens – tennis ball-sized plugs constructed by earthworms 🪱 – cover up to 42% of the #soil surface in #regenerative farm fields farminguk.com/news/study-ask… @FarmingUK @wormscience

#Earthworms are great for #soil. Working with @BBSRC, researchers at @SRUC and @UniofNottingham have studied how worms munch their way through disease-infected residues (#biocontrol). See their video and our article for info.

Finding eyespot on straw in lumbricus terrestris middens. Anyone else spotting plant pathogen presence? Earthworms thought to prefer fusarium infected straw

Heaps of anecic worm activity in min-till continuous wheat and lovely views when I remember to stop staring at the ground measuring worms!

Stunning day in Salisbury to be midden surveying - there has been lots of worm activity with 10-15 middens per m2

It was curious to find frozen earthworms in middens this morning. It quickly defrosted in my hand & wriggled back into the soil.
