    daft worm question

    So as I was scrubbing the mud off the (undamaged) parnips I found a little worm in the water.
    If worms eat all the organic matter in the soil, how come they don't eat the veggies? How do they know the difference?

    Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

    What would Vedder do?

      I don't think they have tough enough mouthparts to chew into veg. They just take up soil and extract the nutrition from it.

          Worms eat 'dead' vegetable matter. I suppose it must give off different chemicals.
          Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.

            Fi got there first: worms' teeth aren't big enough. In fact they don't have teeth at all. Have you tried gumming a parsnip to death?

              Worms only eat dead and decaying matter, hence seeds pass through a wormery uneaten.
