When do you do that sort of thing?

So in terms of edging, edging is one of my very favorite jobs in the garden.

I know you guys have gone on and on about edging, but I love edging.

Not as much for doing it, but for the amazing, just the way it just revives a garden.

So edging is one of those jobs that, well, you know, you kind of have to wait for the soil to be right.

You know, you don't want it soppy wet and you don't want it to be too dry or else it's too hard.

So...

Okay.

But can you tell us a little bit about this pest maybe so that other people might be able to discover it in their garden? And maybe I don't know what the solution is, but I guess let's talk about it a little bit.

Sure, yeah.

I have had the misfortune of having those in my garden since I think they got here in about 2016 or probably 2016.

And I'm pretty sure they came in with a load of soil that I had.

And this was at a time before we were really aware of this.

So this jumping worm, there's a couple of different species of it, but these are invasive worms, earthworms.

that um and actually this is this is the little asterisk i put um in much of the country there are no native earthworms it's just that we have like there are no native earthworms to my part of the country it's just that the earthworms that are here are from like the 18 they came here like the 1800s or something so there has been some um adaptation and we think of them as as native earthworms although they aren't so many places of in the country there are not a lot of native earthworms um but we don't think of them as a problem These Asian jumping worms are a problem because they have no natural predators at this point.

That's wild.
