Another question in the back of my mind has been, do the worms get annoyed when the plant sends its roots through their tunnels? Well, first the worms are super active and they dont seem to mind the work of moving dirt around and making new tunnels. But second, I think maybe the roots will avoid empty cavities in the ground. Which seems counter intuitive but I think roots are designed to seek material of a certain density. They want to travel through dirt not air. They may avoid entering the worm tunnels or chambers for this reason. Now, this is a very relevant and basic question, but I bet few people know the answer. I bet most people who study plants and soils dont even know the answer. I have never heard this discussed, even though you cant really understand soil without knowing this.
