Earthworms

This booklet was prepared by Pauline Mele and Carole Hollier in 1995. It was produced as part of the earthworm research programs funded by the former Agriculture Victoria, (Rutherglen Centre), and the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC).

The booklet is designed to help you easily recognise the earthworms that you are most likely to encounter in your paddocks and gardens. It will also help you estimate the numbers of earthworms living in your paddocks and provide a picture of the general "health" of your soil and the potential to improve it.

To view the information PDF requires the use of a PDF reader. This can be installed for free from the
