Mammoth Earth Worms to Big for the Garden!

It's no secret that earthworms supply multiple benefits to your gardens health and nutrition. They do the job of tilling, fertilizing, and improving soil quality. A local friend has had great success using earthworms and would tell you earth worms are definitely one of a gardeners best friends. My aim  is to share more information in future posts on the benefits of earthworms as well as some of the cautions, however today's post is for pure enjoyment as I found this email from my friend Abes Giant Gippsland Earthworm pics. Never though of mounting a trophy earthworm to my wall, but finding a massive worm like this in the garden one might actually consider it!

Planting Project Derailed, Sleepless Nights, Friends Who Care!

        

                                                

Decided not to post the explosion pics that you or anyone else in their right mind would not want to see however, a true friend and gentlemen who will remain nameless covered in my family's "Raw Sewage" may have amused you but to humbled to take his picture after the explosion. Had a company in to bid on the repair job and excavating which literally was the price of a new car and led to a sleepless night. Light bulbs finally went on for me and stress began to diminish as I was reminded that I'm from the country and surrounded by friends with skill's and with that in mind the phone calls began and 7 days later a new septic system professionally in and done for less than the cost of your average refrigerator.

Apologies, quick iPhone pictures, work was in progress

  

Now ready more than ever to get back to Winter Sowing and preparing for the planting season ahead!
