My main question is does the Bayer Garden Advanced ,Same thing as merit, Will it kill the Wormes ?? Because i dont see as many worms as i did even my first yr ,, With all the compost &( not )hardly any cemical firt, Other things to concider is that iv rototilled for 2 yrs but only to put in compost & once to rototill cover crop in ! but this yr we also had no rain only 3 inchs (Global warming) , SO Bottom line is if i dont use it again What kind of worms should i put in patch to get levels back up ? Thanks for any replys !!! ???

Fissh,

Throw some fine ground cornmeal into the patch. When there is food, they will come!

Maybe they are just a little deeper in your soil because of the dry weather we have had this year. I've used Merit for the past two years and have noticed no effict on the worms.

Fisssh, I didn't see too many worms in my soil either until I dug down 12" or so. I think they are hanging down deeper because it was so dry this year.
I've used merit and will this year too, it didn't seem to harm the worms from what I could tell.

Merit doesn't kill worms when used as directed. Sevin will kill some of them for about 2-3 weeks if you use enough.

Corn Meal, coffee grouds, leaves, etc all give them food. Drought & temperature extremes will send them deep.
