They sound like locals, I would not kill them unless the plant shows signs of damage.  They may be part of your ecosystem, and I never kill anything unless I know for sure what it is and what damage it causes.  They do not sound like pests to me.

Subject: [NAFEX] little dark worms

Hello Again Friends;

 

Little dark colored worms.

Not earthworms, not red wigglers.............

They are perhaps 1 to 1.5" long, dark brown, not slimy.

They are everywhere in the soil.

They immediately curl into a coil if you handle them.

 

Does anybody know what they are?

Should they be ignored or killed?

They seem to like the root area of my Saskatoon plants.

 

Any ideas?
