Worm casts.

[pizzaeatingmonkey]

Having reseeded part of my lawn, leaving a path of old knackered lawn for us to walk on, the new bit now has loads of worm casts on it. I know you can rake them away when the soil is dry but I doubt it'll get dry before Spring.
Has anyone tried one of the 'worm repellent' solutions with any success?

My dad always used to brush at them with a besom (one of those old-fashioned witches' brooms) to break them up and spread them out over the surface. If you do it gently it doesn't harm young growth.

worms are good for the soil, they are getting air into the ground and stopping water logging and compaction issues.

when you mow later on that will redistribute the soil

I'm baffled that anyone would want to keep worms away from their garden They are so wonderful for the soil, and therefore your grass!

I honestly wouldn't worry about it too much - it'll probably vanish as a problem when your grass is more established next summer. I definitely wouldn't try to discourage worms - you will end up doing far more harm than good.

In Au you can buy worm castings by the bag, they are so valued. On the sand dune that I call home, I know all the worms by name.

I love worms in the garden, not only for the hard work they do but as food for the birds. I don't want to kill them just gently persuade them to move to the flower beds until I have some grass fit to walk on.

when was it reseeded? deepening on how well its taken they suggest 8 weeks or more not walking on the area on most seed packs i have used

a bit of heavy rain and the will go, and the grass will also grow through them in no time

They are pretty essential for aerating the lawn and that encouraged deep root growth for the grass. Brush the soil across the grass to mulch it

thanks bowsaw and pretty*
