I have tons of worms in my garden. Will they eat the seeds that I just planted? I don't want them to ruin it!

We just planted our garden and flower beds. Any tips on what we should do to make sure our garden is not destroyed by the worms would be great. They are pushing our onion bulbs out of the ground and I'm worried that they won't get the chance to root and grow because of this. I know they are helpful, but what can we do to make sure they don't destroy all the hard work we just did!?

No, they wont eat it...in fact they will help your garden, worms cultivate the soil. As long as you keep an eye on your bulbs, and make sure they aren't dangerously close to the surface.
Reply:they're not going to "ruin" anything.


just put the bulbs a bit lower than needed, that way any "shifting or pushing" wont affect anything.

Reply:no worms accualy will help a ton in fertilizing and airing out your soil. They will not eat your seeds, they are a blessing
Reply:no


it should help them grow


other kinds might eat what you planted when it is grown
Reply:If you are talking about earthworms, consider them your friend. If your talking about those disgusting white grubs, go to the garden center and get that stuff to work into the soil to get rid of them or else they will attack the roots of anything you plant.
Reply:Worms don't eat seeds. You have to worry about birds, squirrels and chipmunks eating the seeds.
Reply:Your actually blessed, I have never heard of having to many earth worms.


earthworm droppings -- called castings when deposited atop the ground -- are rich in nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, and these are all important nutrients for healthy, prospering ecosystems.


Earth worms till the soil and enrich it. If you fell you have to many considering harvesting some and sharing them with another Gardner in the area.
