Asian Jumping Worms Invade Colorado

Asian jumping worms, twice as long and destructive as regular earthworms, are invading Colorados soil, causing damage to native plants and exacerbating drought conditions. These worms, hitching rides in soil and plant material, are likely imported and have already spread to Denvers Hilltop neighborhood. Officials urge residents to check plants and root balls before moving, avoid suspect soil, and buy compost heated above 130 degrees for three days to kill larvae. Report sightings immediately to prevent further spread. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
