I learned something from this post. I have seen the “cocoons that are not cocoons” a thousand times as a kid and often wondered what they were. If my parents knew, they wouldn’t say, but now I know. Check it out! Earthworms are a huge help in improving the health of your soil. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXowQJMTks7L4eJDEz22zuthBobBjrEgT3SQ2friRoPRr/image.png)

@janver06 post came at just the right time. Just this past week I read an article about some diseases that have recently became zoonotic and it is rather scary.

Less work to be repeated year after year and long term supply of food to go with it! ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXowQJMTks7L4eJDEz22zuthBobBjrEgT3SQ2friRoPRr/image.png)
