My wife rescues worms from the street after it rains.

I've definitely seen an increase in worm activity - Went to take a soil sample for the third year since finding this site and for the first time, saw a ton of worms in the lawn while digging. Y1 I didn't see any and last year, only a couple. I've been pouring leaves on in the fall and have added peat moss too..

I've experienced my share of decapitated snakes.
