This is Billy C. NOW HOLD ON HERE ALL YOU NATURE LOVING GARDENERS. I'm no mass murderer. I just detest worms or more precisely the crap they leave behind on my lawn
Let us put this another way to all you people who are totally aghast at the thought of killing the little buggers. Let say your vegetable patch, or favourite plant was being eaten away by some slug or caterpillar or whatever? Would you not try & save your plants? Or do we live in such a politically correct world where every living creature has the right to live no matter how harmful? Are we wrong to kill the locusts that destroy millions of square miles of arable crops every year leaving people to starve?
For the record, I asked before I let the green keeper use it, the chemical DOES NOT KILL WORMS it simply deters them from producing casts.
I hope all you people are happy now & can hopefully sleep at night knowing that the worms in my lawn are safe?
For my part I have one piece of sound advice that you almost certainly will not even consider. GET A LIFE!
I've just caught up with this one...wish I hadn't bothered now.....
I find it strange that people post on a gardening forum to heavily promote killing beneficial creatures in such a comprehensive way. Isn't there a chemical forum of some kind for that?
I like my grass to look decent but if I wanted a sterile space at the front or back of my house, I think I'd just put a carpet down.
A green one obviously.....
Happy to give lessons on the broom
Perhaps the 'keen on green' brigade would care for one and they can fly off into the sunset with their sprays
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Well can't help myself got to have my say about this subject.
I have to be fair I have not read all the posts as some are pathetic or even stupid a member has posted a genuine concern about the condition of his lawn and other users have slagged him off.
Well at my previous garden many of you will know I cared for a 1000 square metre croquet court which is a serious piece of grass' at certain times I would spray a liquid called Mascot Systemic on to the court,
its design was not to kill the worms but to stop them feeding in the sprayed area it makes the soil and matter taste horrible to surface feeding worms a bit like your mum putting mustard on your nails to stop you biting them well it works a treat its expensive but that's the price you pay.
Not sure about the glass thing though well that's my view.
not bothered if there are worm lovers on here but that in my humble opinion is how you get rid of them from a fine piece lawn .p.s. I am a worm lover in amongst the plants but not on my croquet court Lester

My goodness B3. You took me right back mentioning 'Tremors'. I just loved the gun toting guy in that film.
Possibly op we'll have to ask him.
If you want a laugh, it's worth seeing the whole film. I think it was,a,spoof but you never know.
Now they were serious worms!

We've already got happy and fulfilling lives thank you BillyC - and so have the creatures in our gardens
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I usually sweep them off with a besom broom!
It's a different world Dove.
Everyone to their own. My life is just fine thanks
I think this thread will disappear from my forum now, I prefer the gardening threads
In the sticks near Peterborough
