Earthworms are used to increase soil fertility and are also known as boon worms. Furthermore, earthworms in soil raise microchemical bonds and overall soil strength.
Epigeic Earthworms help as organic vermicompost, which allows the soil to reproduce its lost fertility.
Endogeic Earthworms are found on the uppermost layer of the soil. In the benefits part, these kinds of earthworms are for soil aeration and mixing of minerals.
Anecdotal earthworms that eat the soil are known to be very fertile and therefore serve as fertiliser for the top layer of soil.
