    Let them dry and brush them before mowing - worms are good for your lawn - getting rid of them would cause all sorts of problems. image

    Thanks Dove I always brush away every morning but with so many I am getting bare patches which I keep reseeding , I am was tiring to get a back gardening putting green but it might be better to use artificial which I would hate doing

    Instead of brushing them in, could you perhaps gather them up and put them in your flower beds. Hold a bucket on the ground with the open edge facing the cast then flick them in with a trowel. Imagine it as a bit more golf practice - a quick flick of the wrist and into the over sized hole image 

    I think it should work - I used to rid our lawn of greyhound 'casts' like this when we had a dog but I lined the bucket with a plastic bag first!

    Maybe you'll just have to concentrate on your shots out of the rough instead image

    As you have to have spraying certification for certain products I think I will get the pros in maybe more expensive but my golf course have those casts beaten

  • Just google some domestic lawn care companies.  Some of them do say they are able to deal with worm casts, and it's not all that expensive.  Have a look at  www.lawnscience.co.uk  for example.
