PLEASE, NEVER POUR SALT ON EARTHWORMS AGAIN

PLEASE, NEVER POUR SALT ON EARTHWORMS AGAIN.

Imagine concentrated acid pouring on someone while their mouth and noses have been covered at the same time so that they cannot breathe... Burning, dehydration and suffocation results at the same time right? Well, that's how earthworms too feel literally.

Sprinkling common salt on an earthworm leads to loss of water from the organism's cells through osmosis. The salt absorbs all the water volume from the earthworm. The loss of water is caused by the high concentration of salt outside the earthworms cells. The organism becomes dehydrated and finally dies. It also suffocates since it cannot respire with a dehydrated skin.

Meanwhile, through their soil-dwelling endeavors, earthworms provide a multitude of advantages, including enhanced nutrient accessibility, improved drainage, and a heightened soil stability. These collective benefits contribute to the enhancement of agricultural productivity.

You can sweep them into a packer and throw on a bare soil
