Do garden worms have homes??

[Susan123]

I have been doing alot of gardening lately, mainly digging to clear an area that hasn't been used for years. When I unearth a worm, I always wonder if I have disturbed him or destroyed his "house". Do worms have a patch where they live/set up worm homes/rear their young?
Yes, I do have work to do, but I am in a grumpy mood and hate to think I am the cause of worm problems, the world has enough problems without the worm population getting upset.... thanks

Yes thanks to you and your digging you've destroyed a whole worm city. As we speak they are now scurrying (slithering?) round mending roofs and walls and making sure their childrens' bedrooms are habitable before nightfall. your careless plundering has also made many of these worms orphans who will now have to go to the WormChild Orphanage (once it's been rebuilt of course). I hope you're ashamed of yourself!!!

NO!! I am not a murderer! I always put a worm that I unearth away from where I am digging and I talk to him (her? it?) and say sorry and that he (she? it?) will be in a nice place now....

It's too early for a drink , is it???

LOL!!!!

your answers funnier than my crap attempt at humour! Nice one, lol.

Too early for a drink? Hmmm, lemme see....it's after 12, it's a Friday...go for it!

Well - and I am serious now - my boss has 3 old colleagues in for lunch and he has just poured me a glass of chateau collapso!! Cheers. Here's to all the worms!
