5. Scotts Grub-EX
I hope they don't because earthworms aerate the soil and keep it fresh and verbs, and these fertilizers are bad for the environment.
Answers: we definitely should all stop driving our cars. or at tiniest have stricter flux regulations. and yes, i do believe that chemical crap will kill the worms. they are extremely sensitive to stuff approaching that. cover your lawn next to 1/4 compost and use milky spore for the grubs. you'll be all set. if you call for to kill broadleaf weed, use corn gluten. i don't THINK it works on crabgrass...i can't remember.
If your so concerned about butchery earthworms, then don't use any of the products. It's your god given right! And if they do massacre the earthworms, there is other technique of aerating the soil for a healthy turf. Carbon Monoxide is also doomed to failure for the environment. Perhaps we should all stop driving our cars as economically!
Added Info: As a commercial turf applicator, I used many chems on my own grassland which included, but not limited to.. fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. After adjectives these applications of supposed "bad" for the environment products, I still harvested "hours of darkness crawlers" from my lawn on a weekly cause for my many weekend jaunts to the local fishing hole. I would dune to say, that the chemicals I applied didn't damage these "wiggling" wonders one bit. In fact, they seem to thrive and breed readily, in my especially healthy, non-diseased, weed free, gluey and lush, deep green grass.
