Thread OP

I see clumps of these alongside one side of my house, not anywhere else. No clue what it is. I step on it and it flakes up and looks very dry.

Just curious to know if I need to take any preventative actions or not.

Huh. Looks like signs of earthworms to me. Which is a GOOD thing, assuming I'm correct.

Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid.

Hopefully you're correct, so that it's not a worry for me.

I agree; healthy soil with plenty of earthworm activity.

This site suggests that you allow the castings to dry and rake them into the lawn.

As a gardener I would gather the castings, make "earthworm tea" and use the liquid to fertilize my veggies.
