To view the information PDF requires the use of a PDF reader. This can be installed for free from the Adobe website (external link).

This booklet 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). It acknowledges the input of many of the staff at the Rutherglen Centre, and particularly the editorial comment of Jeff Hirth.

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.
