does the earthworm move randomly during locomotion?

Question

1) does the earthworm move randomly during locomotion?
2) what do you suppose the worm is seeking or avoiding?

Answer 1

Earthworm's movement is directional. It moves towards the damp region and avoids bright light.It seeks organic food in the soil and prefers dark rather than light.

Answer 2

If you get 2 to 3 worms on every spadeful of dirt in your garden, that is more than enough if you ask me. Worms are smart little creatures too, they don't want to wait for your shovel, once they felt vibrations they go down deep. If they're there that's a good indication already that you have a good soil. Just put your tree leaves or grass clippings in your garden every fall and mixed it with the soil in spring is good enough to feed and attract worms. Plus, if you want them in your garden don't use rototiller. This will chop them into pieces and probably will threatened them away. Happy gardening.

Answer 3

Earthworms will be motivated by food and the environment. Mainly they are looking for damp spaces but not too damp.

Which is why you won't find them in dry places because they don't have much of a brain but what they have is not stupid.
