Worms are our friends, they are useful everywhere in the garden, but they can produce wormcasts on the lawn in autumn which are not. If left on the lawn while mowing they will form disfiguring muddy patches as they are walked on or rolled by the mower – smothering the grass underneath.
Tradition has it that the best tool for dispersing worm casts is a besom broom, but any brush or even a rake will do.
