Obvs spending more than 60 years deprogramming and appreciating the role of all the scary crawlies, not just worms, which is why I'm looking with interest at a rethinking of their role. Fascinating convo, thanks!

True! Our yard was ten inches deep in roadcrush when we moved in 20 yrs ago so anything that helped...a horrible ant infestation actually killed a tree but the anthill turned a metre square patch arable and we were able to plant a cherry tree there after the ants were gone so it is all a mystery

But spent 65 years trying not to hate and freak out phobically at earthworms. Now I need a new opinion of them!

Unsure. Am truly asking due to being gobsmacked at this info! Soil improvement good? Bird food good? Sometimes invasive species find a niche and aren't destructive per se? Is the change in carbon cycling negative? I am not a scientist but I am a gardener of sorts...

But where does this leave earthworms on the good-bad continuum?

Wow. I was today years old...etc. As a kid I was terrified of earthworms due to once being menaced with a 24-inch worm by a bigger kid. Also they come out on the sidewalks after rain & get squished -- icky. But I always thought they were good for soil, and had no idea they weren't original to here.
