I know the chemicals that you once could use to discourage worm casts
have now been 'struck off' but is there nay other way that you can
deter them?
I have to cut a very large lawn and there's an immense amount of
womcasts on the surface at the moment.
Funnily enough the front lawn which i scarified way back in the spring
has few cats on it but the back looks terrible with splodges of squashed
soil all over it and which are now killing the grass in patches.
Yes i know that worms are good esp3cially the ones in the compost but
just wanted to know if you have found anything that deters them from
the surface of lawns/

The people who live next but one to us have solved problems like this by
covering the garden in concrete and removing the hedge.

Before the concrete, the garden, which was made by the previous owners, was
beautiful. I don't understand why they didn't buy a large flat with a balcony if
they wanted concrete.

Maybe the price was right.
Now is the time to buy, whatever state the garden is, and alter however you
feel fit.
Not everybody feels the same way we do regarding flower and fauna.
Each to their own eh?
I personally hate "car parks" but there is always one isnt there.
