Now for anyone unfamiliar with Alabama Jumpers, these red worms that readily live in clay and sandy soils. They have a tough skin which enables them to survive under the harsher conditions most red worms would have difficulty surviving.

Alabama Jumpers will borough through and aerate your soil. At the same time, they eat organic matter, shredded paper and cardboard, grass clippings (not piled up), hay (not straw) leaves… but will not harm plant roots, or anything else in your yard or garden. They will come towards the surface to release their castings (worm poop) also known as “Black Gold”. This produces a naturally balanced PH soil as well as adds millions of beneficial microbes to the soil.

Just two weeks earlier I placed 1,200 Alabama Jumper Red Worms outside and covered them with some hay, notice I did not say straw as you do not want to use the straw! I placed them outside our main yard area near the edge of the woods since we have ample property here. Now over time these critters will migrate and spread out in the backyard.

Just amazing to see the new growths within two weeks while the surrounding edges of the woods are almost barren of living greenery.

Here is the picture I snapped yesterday.
