Great to get message Annie. I am slightly different to a lot of ATP members in that I am looking at things on larger scale. I have a lot of trees and I'm always looking for that 'something' that will turn good trees into great ones.

I use poo big time anyway. The trees have had generous helpings of 'gap dam', rice hulls, pig poo, chicken poo, buffalo poo, cassava waste, sugar waste. The trees need a lot of nutrients but I don't want to buy chemical fertilizers like everyone else here seems to do. I also spray EM (which I make myself).

The reason that I'm thinking 'worms' is the sheer volume of them on one farm (I'll get some pics posted). There is so many that you couldn't walk without treading on them. However!! They accumulate over a few days until the older ones go to ground. I'm trying to dissuade the Thais coming onto the land to catch them there are that many. These are giant worms some of them up to 12/13 inches long. The Thais use them for catching the snake-head fish.

Thanks again for the input Annie; it's got me thinking again (oh no!!).
