Piece about listening for earthworms with @wormscience and @BakerConsultant on Farming Today this morning - starts at around 4.36 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001p1…
Worms for breakfast! The family caught me on BBC Breakfast this morning talking to @DrDavidGK about our new @DefraSoils funded research to monitor #earthworms using the sounds they make @No1FarmerJake @baseuk @WarwickCrop
Watch our latest earthworm research featured by BBC (from 4 mins 23) bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

New research led by @SRUC has found middens – tennis ball-sized plugs constructed by earthworms 🪱 – cover up to 42% of the #soil surface in #regenerative farm fields farminguk.com/news/study-ask… @FarmingUK @wormscience
📢Volunteers needed to take part in the next midden survey
Read about our science-farming earthworm survey partnership, just published @AABiologists Thanks to @SRUC for supporting open access, my co-author Prof. Goulding @Rothamsted & #30minworms #worldwormweek community @DefraSoils @louisearable @ukfarming

#Earthworms are great for #soil. Working with @BBSRC, researchers at @SRUC and @UniofNottingham have studied how worms munch their way through disease-infected residues (#biocontrol). See their video and our article for info.

Thrilled to be @RHSWisely with a bucket of earthworms and a reading of Under Your Feet for families this half term #earthworms #soils
I never knew this about the history of earthworms! Richard Bardgett is sharing his soil biodiversity knowledge @baseuk
“Monitoring beneficials is as important as pest populations” - great insights about conservation biocontrol from @SamCook_IPM @baseuk
Setting up a nice little earthworm experiment @UniofNottingham today to better understand midden building behaviours
Finding eyespot on straw in lumbricus terrestris middens. Anyone else spotting plant pathogen presence? Earthworms thought to prefer fusarium infected straw
Heaps of anecic worm activity in min-till continuous wheat and lovely views when I remember to stop staring at the ground measuring worms!
Stunning day in Salisbury to be midden surveying - there has been lots of worm activity with 10-15 middens per m2
It was curious to find frozen earthworms in middens this morning. It quickly defrosted in my hand & wriggled back into the soil.

Happy #WorldSoilDay! Why not take a walk outside & see if you can spot any middens 🍂 signs of a healthy #soil filled with #earthworms!
